NOTE 

It  is  the  purpose  of  this  volume  to  present  as  concisely  as 
possible  the  record  of  patriotic  effort  in  Peoria  and  immediate 
territory.  A  mere  outline  is  given  of  local  patriotic  endeavor, 
which  to  detail  would  require  many  such  volumes.  It  tells 
briefly  of  deeds  of  noble  women  during  the  days  of  '6o-'65, 
achievements  of  Peoria  County  boys  on  fields  of  glory  for 
country's  sake,  and  substantial  recognition  of  such  effort  by  the 
citizenship  of  this  city  and  county.  Especial  reference  is  paid 
to  the  movement  leading  up  to  and  the  consummation  of  the 
building  of  the  soldiers'  monument  in  the  Peoria  County 
court-house  square,  dedicated  October  6,  1899.  Attention  is 
called  to  a  presentation  of  a  list  of  the  volunteers  for  the 
war  of  the  Rebellion  from  Peoria  County  and  near  vicinity. 
This  is  taken  from  the  adjutant  general's  report.  If  inaccura- 
cies as  to  names  and  dates  occur,  the  report  itself  is  at  fault.  If 
the  volume  serves  to  inspire  to  nobler  thoughts,  to  awaken 
interest  and  keep  alive  the  principles  for  which  our  sons 
have  given  their  lives,  kindle  anew  the  altar-fires  of  patri- 
otism and  devotion,  then  this  work  will  not  be  in  vain:  the 
compilers  thereof  will  be  satisfied. 


THE  AMERICAN   FLAG 


**Thou  hast  given  a  banner  to  them  that  fear  thee,  that  it  may 
be  displayed  because  of  the  truth." — Psalms  9:4. 

"As  at  the  early  dawn  the  stars  shine  forth  even  v^^hile  it 
grows  hght,  and  then,  as  the  sun  advances,  that  light  breaks  into 
banks  and  streaming  lines  of  color,  the  glowing  red  and  intense 
white  striving  together  and  ribbing  the  horizon  with  bars 
effulgent. 

"So  on  the  American  flag,  stars  and  beams  of  many-colored 
light  shine  out  together.  And  where  this  flag  comes,  and  men 
behold  it,  they  see  in  its  sacred  emblazonry  no  ramping  lions 
and  no  fierce  eagle;  no  embattled  castles,  or  insignia  of  impe- 
rial authority;  they  see  the  symbols  of  hght.  It  is  the  banner 
of  dawn.  It  means  Liberty;  and  the  galley  slave,  the  poor,  op- 
pressed conscript,  the  down-trodden  creature  of  foreign  des- 
potism, sees  in  the  American  flag  that  very  promise  and  pre- 
diction of  God:  'The  people  which  sat  in  darkness  saw  a  great 
light;  and  to  them  which  sat  in  the  region  and  shadow  of  death 
hght  is  sprung  up.' 

"In  1777,  within  a  few  days  of  one  year  after  the  Declara- 
tion of  Independence,  the  Congress  of  the  colonies  in  the  con- 
federated states  assembled  and  ordained  this  glorious  national 
flag,  which  we  now  hold  and  defend,  and  advanced  it  full  high 
before  God  and  all  men  as  the  flag  of  liberty. 

"It  was  no  holiday  flag  gorgeously  emblazoned  for  gayety  or 
vanity.  It  was  a  solemn  national  signal.  When  that  banner 
first  unrolled  to  the  sun,  it  was  the  symbol  of  all  those  holy 
truths  and  purposes  which  brought  together  the  colonial  Amer- 
ican Congress.  *  *  *  Our  Flag  means,  then,  all  that  our 
fathers  meant  in  the  Revolutionary  War;  it  means  all  that  the 
Declaration  of  Independence  meant;  it  means  all  that  the  Con- 


2  LOVE'S    LABOR 

stitution,  of  our  people,  organizing  for  justice,  for  liberty  and 
for  happiness  meant. 

"Our  flag  carries  American  ideas,  American  history,  and 
American  feehng.  Beginning  with  the  colonies,  and  coming 
down  to  our  time,  in  its  sacred  heraldry,  in  its  glorious  insig- 
nia, it  has  gathered  and  stored  chiefly  this  supreme  idea :  Di- 
vine right  of  liberty  in  man — every  color  means  liberty;  every 
thread  means  liberty;  every  form  of  star  and  beam  or  stripe 
of  Hght  means  liberty. 

"Not  lawless,  not  Kcense,  but  organized  institutional  liberty 
— hberty  through  law,  and  laws  for  liberty! 

"Accept  it,  then,  in  all  its  fullness  of  meaning.  It  is  not  a 
painted  rag. 

"It  is  a  whole  national  history. 

"It  is  the  Constitution. 

"It  is  the  Government. 

"It  is  the  free  people  that  stand  in  the  government  on  the 
constitution. 

"Forget  not  what  it  means,  and  for  the  sake  of  its  ideas  be 
true  to  our  country's  flag." — Henry  Ward  Beecher,  address, 
Brooklyn,  14th  Regt.,  1861. 


OUR  FLAG— AMERICAN  IDEAS. 

Our  flag  carries  American  ideas,  American  history,  and 
American  feehng.  Beginning  with  the  colonies,  and  coming 
down  to  our  time,  in  its  sacred  heraldry,  -in  its  glorious  insig- 
nia, it  has  stored  chiefly  this  supreme  idea:  Divine  right  of 
liberty  in  man.  Every  color  means  liberty;  every  thread  means 
liberty;  every  form  of  star  and  beam,  or  stripe  of  light,  means 
Ubertv. 


OLD   GLORY. 

"He  must  be  cold,  indeed,  w^ho  can  look  upon  its  folds  rip- 
pling in  the  breeze  without  pride  of  country.  If  he  be  in  a 
foreign  land,  the  flag  is  companionship,  and  country  itself,  with 


LOVE'S    LABOR  3 

all  its  endearments.  Who,  as  he  sees  it,  can  think  of  a  state 
merely?  Whose  eye,  once  fastened  upon  its  radiant  trophies, 
can  fail  to  recognize  the  image  of  the  whole  nation  ?" — Chas. 
Sumner. 

"It  has  never  floated  over  any  region  but  in  benediction." 
— William  McKinley. 

A  SONG    FOR   OUR    FLAG. 

A  bit  of  color  against  the  blue; 

Hue  of  the  morning;  blue  for  true, 

And  red  for  the  kindling  light  of  flame, 

And  white  for  a  nation's  stainless  fame. 

Oh!  fling  it  forth  to  the  winds  afar. 

With  hope  in  its  every  shining  star; 

Under  its  folds,  wherever  found. 

Thank  God,  we  have  Freedom's  holy  ground. 

Don't  you  love  it,  as  it  floats 

From  the  schoolhouse  peak, 

And  the  glad  young  throats 

Sing  of  the  banner  that  aye  shall  be 

Symbol  of  honor  and  victory? 

Don't  you  thrill  when  the  marching  feet 

Of  jubilant  soldiers  shake  the  street. 

And  the  bugles  shrill,  and  the  trumpet's  call, 

And  the  red,  white,  and  blue  is  over  us  all  ? 

Don't  you  pray,  amid  starting  tears. 

It  may  never  be  furled  through  age-long  years  ? 

A  song  for  our  flag,  our  country's  boast, 
That  gathers  beneath  it  a  mighty  host. 
Long  may  it  wave  o'er  the  goodly  land 
We  hold  in  fee  'neath  our  Father's  hand. 
For  God  and  liberty  evermore 
May  that  banner  stand  from  shore  to  shore, 
Never  to  those  high  meanings  lost, 
Never  with  alien  standards  crossed, 
But  always  valiant,  and  pure,  and  true. 
Our  starry  flag,  red,  white,  and  blue. 


THE    SOLDIERS'    MONUMENT 


NEW  SOLDIERS'  MONUMENT   BORN   UNDER 
SHADOW  OF  PEORIA'S  LIBERTY  BELL 

It  was  in  the  shadow  of  that  same  old  bell  that  used  to  ring 
out  its  hurry  call  to  loyal  women  in  the  days  of  prayers  and 
tears,  the  New  Soldiers'  Monument  was  conceived. 

At  the  May  meeting  of  1893,  it  was  proposed  that  a  fitting 
memorial  be  erected  to  the  memory  of  our  own  defenders,  and 
that  we,  who  had  seen  them  march  so  proudly  away  to  duty's 
call,  were  entitled  to  do  that  work.  Accordingly,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Association,  with  clasped  hands  and  united  hearts, 
resolved  to  incorporate  for  the  work. 

Peoria's  resources  are  many,  and,  happily,  at  this  we  were 
not  lacking. 

An  artist,  a  sculptor,  born  in  Peoria,  of  rare  skill,  belong- 
ing to  us  by  birth,  was  among  us,  and  to  him  was  intrusted 
our  desire  to  honor  our  living  and  dead  heroes.  How  well  he 
has  done  his  work  we  have,  as  yet,  not  been  able  to  compre- 
hend. It  will  take  added  years  before  we  do.  The  beloved 
President,  as  he  leaned  upon  the  sculptor's  arm,  in  his  inspect- 
ive  walk  around  the  memorial,  said:  "I  like  that  monument. 
We  like  it,  the  citizens  of  Peoria  like  it,  and  visitors  to  our 
city  like  it. 

The  President  and  all  of  his  official  family  came  to  its  un- 
veiling. How  the  bells  rang,  the  cannon  thundered  in  the  air. 
Music  swelled  the  breeze.  The  people  shouted  their  wel- 
come. How  glad  his  face  lighted  up  at  sight  of  the  children 
as  they  marched  before  him  with  arches  of  flowers  and  waving 
flags.  How  beautiful  were  the  furnishings  of  platform  and 
stairways;  but  nothing  was  lost  on  this  kindly  man.     How 


6  LOVE'S    LABOR 

proudly  a  comrade  bore  him,  and  all  of  his  official  family,  to 
his  home  to  entertain,  amid  music  and  flowers  to  the  full.  How 
kindly  this  hospitable  family  opened  their  doors  to  the  citizens, 
who  took  this  kindly  man  by  the  hand,  w^ho  had  so  honored 
us  all  by  his  coming. 

All  too  soon  this  joyous  time  came  to  an  end,  and  the  thread 
of  our  work  must  be  taken  up  again,  for,  be  it  known,  we  still 
had  a  deficit  to  meet,  and  this  was  a  cloud  over  us  on  that  cloud- 
less October  day. 

PEORIA'S    GUESTS    OF    HONOR. 

The  Presidential  party  who  honored  Peoria  with  their  pres- 
ence on  the  occasion  of  the  dedication  of  the  Soldiers'  Monu- 
ment, October  6,  1899,  included  the  President,  Mrs.  McKin- 
ley.  Secretary  Hay,  Secretary  Gage,  Secretary  Root,  Attorney- 
General  Griggs,  Postmaster-General  Smith,  Secretary  Long, 
Secretary  Hitchcock,  Mrs.  Hitchcock,  Secretary  Wilson,  Miss 
Wilson,  Dr.  P.  M.  Rixey,  Assistant  Secretary  Cortelyou,  Mr. 
Barnes,  executive  clerk,  Mr.  Leonard,  stenographer. 

October  6,  1899.  The  day  of  days  has  come  and  a  more  per- 
fect day  never  dawned  upon  the  city  of  Peoria. 

The  star-spangled  banner 

Forever  must  wave 
O'er  the  land  we  have  won 

With  the  blood  of  our  brave.

PRESIDENT  McKINLEY'S  ADDRESS  ON  THE  OCCA- 
SION   OF    THE    DEDICATION  OF   THE 
SOLDIERS'  MONUMENT. 

Fellow-citizens :  I  am  glad  mth  my  fellow-citizens  of  Peoria 
County,  and  members  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Repubhc  and 
Ladies'  Memorial  Day  Association,  to  stand  about  the  monu- 
ment dedicated  to  patriotic  service  and  heroic  devotion  in  the 
hoHest  cause  for  which  mankind  ever  engaged. 

This  monument  awakens  sacred  memories,  fellow-citizens, 
and  that  is  its  purpose.  It  was  erected  by  these  patriotic  wo- 
men, that  it  might  for  all  time  perpetuate  a  glorious  page  of 
American  history.  It  tells  the  whole  story  of  war,  the  siege, 
the  march,  bivouac,  battle  line,  the  suffering,  sacrifices  of  the 
brave  m.en  who  from  '6i  to  '65  upheld  the  flag. 

It  tells  of  every  page  of  history  of  that  civil  struggle,  and  tells 
of  its  triumphant  consummation  at  Appomattox  Court  House, 
when  Grant  accepted  the  surrender  of  Lee,  and  we  were  kept 
a  nation.     I  like  this  monument. 

I  like  this  s}Tnbol  I  face  to-day,  "The  defense  of  the  flag." 

That  is  what  we  do  wherever  and  whenever  that  flag  is  as- 
sailed, and  with  us  war  always  stops  when  the  assailants  of  our 
flag  face  Grant's  terms,  '^Unconditional  surrender."  I  do  not 
intend  to  make  a  speech  here  to-day.  I  could  add  nothing  of 
patriotic  sentiment  to  that  already  uttered. 

I  desire  to  express  in  this  presence  my  appreciation,  not  of 
the  tribute  paid  to  the  President  of  the  United  States,  but  the 
tribute  the  people  of  Peoria  and  Peoria  County  have  paid  to  the 
great  defenders  of  the  American  flag  in  time  of  our  great  peril. 

You  are  proud  of  the  monument.  You  should  be  proud  of 
the  demonstration  which  led  to  its  unveiling. 

Six  thousand  school  chfldren  of  the  city,  with  flags  in  their 
hands,  and  love  of  country  in  their  hearts,  and  I  could  not  but 
think,  as  I  looked  at  the  glorious  procession,  that  my  country 
is  safe. 

God  bless  the  school  children  of  America. 

God  bless  the  patriotic  women  of  the  United  States,  and  the 


LOVE'S    LABOR  9 

patriotic  band  that  carried  this  monument  to  a  successful  con- 
summation. 

I  congratulate  you.  You  have  everything  in  Peoria.  I  con- 
gratulate you  that  you  found  an  artist  of  so  high  skill,  born  in 
Peoria,  to  execute  this  work. 

I  thank  you  again  and  again  for  this  splendid  demonstration 
of  patriotism  and  devotion. 


A  monument  for  the  soldiers  ! 

And  what  will  ye  build  it  of  ? 
Can  ye  build  of  marble,  or  brass,  or  bronze, 

Outlasting  the  soldier's  love? 
Can  ye  glorify  it  with  legends 

As  grand  as  their  blood  hath  writ, 
From  the  inmost  shrine  of  this  land  of  thine 

To  the  uttermost  verge  of  it  ? 

And  the  answer  came:  We  would  build  it 

Out  of  our  hopes   made  sure. 
And  out  of  our  purest  prayers  and  tears, 

And  out  of  our  faith  secure; 
We  would  build  it  out  of  the  great  white  truths 

Their  death  hath  sanctified, 
And  the  sculptured  forms  of  the  men  in  arms. 

And  their  faces  ere  they  died. 

And  what  heroic  figures 

Can  the  sculptor  carve  in  stone  ? 
Can  the  marble  breast  be  made  to  bleed, 

And  the  marble  lips  to  moan  ? 
Can  the  marble  brow  be  fevered 

And  the  marble  eyes  be  graved 
To  look  their  last,  as  the  flag  floats  past. 

On  the  country  they  have  saved  ? 

And  the  answer  came :  The  figures 

Shall  all  be  fair  and  brave. 
And  as  befitting,  as  pure  and  white 

As  the  stars  above  their  grave ! 
The  marble  lips  and  breast  and  brow 

Whereon  the  laurel  lies. 
Bequeath  us  right  to  guard  the  flight 

Of  the  old  flag  in  the  skies. 


lo  LOVE'S    LABOR 

A  monument  for  the  soldiers ! 

Built  of  a  people's  love, 
And  blazoned  and  decked  and  panoplied 

With  the  hearts  ye  built  it  of! 
And  see  that  ye  build  it  stately, 

In  pillar  and  niche  and  gate. 
And  high  in  pose  as  the  souls  of  those 

It  would  commemorate ! 


THE  MONUMENT  IN  SPRINGDALE  CEMETERY. 

This  monument  was  erected  by  the  Ladies'  Memorial  Day 
Association,  with  the  co-operation  of  the  citizens,  at  an  expend- 
iture of  $25,000.  This  includes  a  resting-place  for  any  soldier 
dying  in  this  vicinity,  with  no  friends  near  to  minister.  As  each 
30th  of  May  rolls  around,  the  graves  are  garlanded  and  crossed 
with  the  flag  of  our  country. 


SOLDIERS'  MONUMENT  IN  PEORIA  COURT-HOUSE 
SQUARE,  DEDICATED  IN  1866. 

At  the  dedication  of  the  monument  m  1866,  there  were 
in  the  procession  soldiers  of  the  Sixth  and  Eighth  Missouri, 
Seventh,  Eighth,  Tenth,  Fourteenth,  Seventeenth,  Eighteenth, 
Twenty-fourth,  Thirty-second,  Thirty-ninth,  Forty-fourth, 
Forty-seventh,  Forty-eighth,  Fifty-fifth,  Fifty-seventh,  Seventy-

fourth,  Eighty-fifth,  Eighty-sixth,  Eighty-ninth,  Ninety-third, 
Ninety-fourth,  Ninety-sixth,  One  hundred  and  second.  One 
hundred  and  third.  One  hundred  and  fourth.  One  hundred  and

fourth  Illinois  Infantry,  cavalry  troops  and  civic  organizations. 

Rev.  Richard  Haney,  Col.  Robert  G.  Ingersoll,  General  Ben- 
jamin F.  Butler  and  General  Logan  took  part  in  the  exercises. 

"Old  Abe,"  the  Wisconsin  eagle,  was  present.     The  Ladies' 


LOVE'S    LABOR  ii 

National  Loyal  League  (now  Ladies'  Memorial  Society)  com- 
pletely encircled  the  shaft  with  wreaths  and  festoons  of  flow- 
ers, and  garlanded  it  with  evergreens  from  the  base  to  the  top. 
In  the  evening  the  streets  were  illuminated  with  bonfires. 


HOW   WE    BUILDED. 

The  new  Soldiers'  Monument  is  reared  on  ground  conse- 
crated by  prayer  and  woman's  energies. 

The  first  money  paid  to  the  sculptor  was  school  children's 
money.  Rolls  of  Honor  were  distributed  in  every  school  in 
the  city  and  county,  and  when  they  were  returned  they  were 
eventually  placed  in  the  foundation  of  the  monument. 

Glen  Oak  Park,  before  it  was  dedicated,  was  offered  to  the 
Ways  and  Means  Committee  for  a  picnic  Fourth  of  July.  The 
day  opened'up  wet  and  discouraging,  but  the  sun  shone  finally. 
The  committee  was  patronized  by  many  friends.  The  Chief 
of  Police  made  the  lemonade  and  set  the  stakes  of  the  tent  in 
a  goodly  spot.  All  went  well  until  some  one  reported  to  our 
President  we  were  selling  a  spurious  article  of  lemonade.  We 
were  warned  the  good  lady  would  soon  pay  us  a  visit  to  see 
for  herself.  The  lemonade  improved  before  she  arrived,  and 
on  tasting  it,  she  pronounced  it  the  best  she  ever  drank. 


ADDRESS  OF  MR.   JOHN  E.  KEENE  BEFORE  THE 

BOARD  OF  SUPERVISORS,  PEORIA  COUNTY 

ILLINOIS,    DECEMBER    13,    1904. 

Mr.  Chairman,  and  Gentlemen  of  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors : 

The  two  ladies  present,  Mrs.  Tyng  and  Mrs.  Kinsey,  rep- 
resent the  Ladies'  Memorial  Society  of  this  city,  and  have  asked 
me  to  speak  for  them  in  the  interest  of  a  cause  that  is  very  dear 
to  their  hearts  and  one  that,  I  am  sure,  will  appeal  to  you,  and 
to  every  patriotic  citizen  of  this  county. 

I  am  pleased  to  serve  them  as  best  I  can,  although  I  do  not 
know  that  I  have  anything  special  to  say  other  than  to  present 


12  LOVE'S    LABOR 

the  petition  I  hold  in  my  hand,  which,  with  your  permission, 
I  will  read : 

To  THE  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors  of    Peoria 

County,  Illinois. 
Gentlemen: 

The  undersigned  respectfully  call  your  attention  to  the  fact 
of  an  indebtedness  of  $2,168.60  yet  due  Triebel  &  Sons,  of  this 
city,  on  the  soldiers'  monument  in  our  Court  House  Square, 
and  earnestly  petition  your  honorable  body  to  take  the  neces- 
sary steps  to  have  this  indebtedness  paid  by  the  county,  be- 
lieving, as  we  do,  that  it  is  not  only  a  duty  the  people  of  the 
county  owe  to  the  dead,  but  that  they  will  esteem  it  a  pri\dlege 
thus  to  take  a  part  in  erecting  such  a  beautiful  and  lasting 
memorial  to  the  departed  soldiers  of  the  county,  who  gave 
their  lives  for  a  cause  so  dear  to  us  all. 

The  small  amount  yet  due  is  as  nothing  compared  with  the 
entire  cost  of  this  splendid  monument,  to  say  nothing  of  the 
heroic  devotion  and  self-sacrifice  shown  by  the  Ladies  Memo- 
rial Society,  which  made  the  monument  possible,  and  by  whom 
most  of  the  money  required  has  been  raised. 

These  ladies  have  done  nobly  and  deserve  our  lasting  praise, 
but  they  have  done  all  they  can,  and  more  than  should  have 
been  required  of  them. 

The  cause  of  freedom  was  not  the  cause  of  a  few,  but  of  all. 
It  was  a  struggle  for  national  life.  It  is,  therefore,  the  duty  of 
all,  and  should  be  the  pleasure  of  all,  the  citizens  of  this  grand 
repubhc  to  take  some  part  in  perpetuating  the  memory  of 
those  who  died  for  such  a  cause. 

We  therefore  respectfully  and  urgently  appeal  to  you,  as 
the  official  representatives  of  Peoria  County,  to  take  such  steps 
as,  in  your  judgment,  seem  best  to  pay  off  this  indebtedness 
and  let  this  beautiful  monument  forever,  hereafter,  stand  free 
from  the  shadow  of  any  obHgation,  other  than  to  herald  to  all 
who  look  upon  it  the  patriotism  and  devotion  of  a  people  who 
do  not  forget  their  country's  defenders. 

There  is   much  I  would  like  to  say  in  support^of  this  peti-

tion,  indorsed  by  our  Representative  in  Congress,  Hon.  Joseph 
V.  Graff,  and  signed  by  over  one-third  of  the  tax-payers  and 
the  representative  men  of  the  county,  but  I  appreciate  the  fact 
that  you  have  much  to  do,  and  but  a  httle  time  in  which  to  do 
it,  and  I  will  only  presume  to  add  a  few  words. 

To  preserve  the  memory  of  a  country's  defenders  is  one  of 
the  most  patriotic  things  any  people  can  do.  It  is  not  only  a 
duty  we  owe  to  the  dead,  but  it  is  the  strongest  and  best  pro- 
tection to  the  Uving. 

To  instill  into  the  hearts  of  the  rising  generations  respect  and 
love  for  those  who  gave  their  Hves  in  defense  of  their  country 
is  to  build  a  wall  of  protection  around  the  flag,  stronger  than 
standing  armies,  and  more  enduring  than  fortifications. 

Our  protection  for  the  future  is  to  be  found  in  the  patriot- 
ism of  the  present,  and  patriotism  grows  out  of  love  for  coun- 
try. The  child  of  to-day  loves  that  for  which  the  parent  sacri- 
ficed. 

That  beautiful  monument,  gracing  the  entrance  to  our  Court 
House  Square,  stands  for  the  love  we  have,  and  the  generations 
to  come  will  continue  to  have,  for  those  who  gave  their  Hves  in 
defense  of  the  Stars  and  Stripes. 

This  memorial  of  stone  and  bronze  was  not  born  in  a  spasm 
of  patriotism,  but  it  had  its  inception  in  the  hearts  of  loyal  and 
patriotic  womanhood  in  the  very  beginning  of  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion,  and  found  its  happy  consummation  when,  in  1898, 
our  martyred  President  McKinley  pronounced  it  the  most  beau- 
tiful work  of  its  kind  he  had  ever  seen,  and  spoke  those  fitting 
words  of  dedication. 

Mr.  Keene  then  gave,  in  detail,  the  cost  of  the  monument, 
and  stated  the  amount  that  had  been  raised  and  what  was  yet 
to  be  provided  for,  and  how  this  additional  expense  was  in- 
curred.    Continuing,  he  said: 

''The  thing  I  wish  specially  to  impress  upon  your  minds  to- 
day is  the  fact  that  this  monument  does  not  belong  to  Peoria 
as  a  city,  but  to  Peoria  County. 

It  is  not  in  memory  of  the  dead  soldiers  of  the  city  alone, 
but  of  those  from  almost  every  township  throughout  the  county, 


14  LOVE'SLABOR 

who  died  in  their  country's  cause.  It  is,  therefore,  not  an  ob- 
ligation resting  upon  any  one  part  of  the  county,  but  upon  all 
aUke. 

I  speak  to  you  to-day  upon  this  subject  with  peculiar  inter- 
est, and  with  some  degree  of  fitness. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  War  of  1861  I  was  a  resident  of  the 
county,  a  mere  lad,  living  in  Elm  wood.  I  witnessed  the  for- 
mation of  the  first  company  of  soldiers  in  that  place.  I  shall 
never  forget  with  what  boyish  enthusiasm  I  followed  in  the  foot- 
step of  the  soldier  boys  as  they  marched  to  the  music  of  the 
fife  and  the  drum.  Nor  can  I  ever  forget,  while  memory  lasts, 
the  parting  scenes  as  those  boys  left  for  the  seat  of  war. 

Fathers,  mothers,  wives,  sisters,  brothers,  loved  ones  all,  were 
there,  and  with  tear-stained  faces  watched  the  train  as  it  bore 
them  away,  the  Stars  and  Stripes  waving  from  the  hindmost 
car. 

Some  one  began  the  song,  and  then  all  took  up  the  words 
with  choked  voices: 

"  Brave  boys  are  they, 

Gone  to  their  country's  call, 
And  yet,  and  yet  we  must  never  forget, 
That  many  brave  boys  must  fall." 

And  many  did  fall,  some  of  them  to  remain  in  Southern  fields, 
with  naught  but  the  sun  by  day  and  the  stars  by  night  to  pay 
tribute  to  their  worth.  Some  of  them  were  brought  home, 
wrapped  in  the  Stars  and  Stripes  for  their  winding-sheet,  and 
laid  away  to  rest  in  almost  every  hamlet  throughout  this 
county. 

Gentlemen,  these  boys  were  of  your  blood  and  of  my  blood, 
your  friends  and  my  friends,  and  their  country's  heroes. 

It  is  for  all  these  that  beautiful  monument  stands.  God  for- 
bid that  its  glory  should  longer  be  dimmed  by  the  shadow  of  a 
debt. 

We  thank  you  for  the  courtesy  of  this  hearing,  and  have  the 
assurance  that  you  will  give  this  petition  your  careful  consid- 
eration and  do  whatever,  in  your  judgment,  is  right."

THE  SOLDIERS'  MONUMENT 

BY  MRS.  F.  B.  M.  BROTHERSON. 

Rise  crowned  with  glory!  shaft  of  white, 
Tower  proudly  to  the  bright  blue  sky; 
And  tell  triumphant  to  the  world 

The  names  that  were  not  born  to  die — 
Names  that  through  all  coming  time, 

Shall  gleam  with  luster  pure  and  bright — 
A  luster  won  from  noble  deeds. 
And  tinged  with  Heaven's  eternal  light. 

When  treason  and  disunion  reared 

Their  serpent  heads  with  tongue  of  flame, 
And  with  defiance  and  distrust, 

Our  bitter,  vengeful  foes  became; 
When  o'er  the  mountain  and  the  vale 
Was  heard  our  country's  stirring  cry: 
"To  arms! — to  arms!" — and  patriot  hearts 
Resolved  to  conquer  or  to  die. 

Then  went  each  noble  spirit  forth, 

With  trusting  faith  and  strong  right  hand. 
They  stood  "  where  man  doth  die  for  man," 

A  fearless  and  unshrinking  band, — 
They  faltered  not — but  onward  pressed, 

Firm  in  their  manhood's  power  and  pride. 
And  for  our  saftey — for  our  weal — 
They  bravely  fought — they  nobly  died. 

How  shall  we  give  them  honor  due  ? 

How  twine  the  laurel  for  them  meet  ? 
Had  we  the  riches  of  the  world 

To  lay  at  their  unconquered  feet, 
'Twould  not  avail;  nor  would  it  tell 

The  grateful  memories  that  we  keep, 
Distilled  in  many  a  falling  tear. 

Above  their  calm,  unbroken  sleep. 

But  we  will  shrine  each  noble  name 

Upon  the  marble  pure  and  white, 
And  the  glad  sunshine,  day  by  day. 

Shall  bathe  them  in  its  glowing  light; 
The  winds  shall  steal  from  Eden  bowers. 

And  linger  round  the  sacred  place, — 
Where  stands  the  record,  that  with  pride 

A  grateful  country  loves  to  trace. 


i6  LOVE'S    LABOR 

Look  down,  O  watching  stars  of  Heaven, 

Through  the  lone  hours  of  mystic  night, 
To  guard  them  well  with  loving  ward. 

And  crown  them  with  your  golden  light; 
Fall  gently,  purely,  dews  and  showers — 

Those  high  and  hallowed  names  around — 
Fall  as  a  blessing  o'er  the  place 

Whose  memory  makes  it  holy  ground. 

Then  rise,  fair  marble!  take  thy  place 

Among  the  things  which  earth  will  keep 
While  Time  shall  last — and  many  an  age 

Lies  down  unto  its  dreamless  sleep. 
The  hand  of  Genius  crowns  thee  too; 

Its  living  impress  thou  dost  wear, 
As,  clothed  with  its  unchanging  grace. 
Thou  dost  immortal  deeds  declare.

THE  FIRST  MONUMENT  IN  THE   COURT-HOUSE 

SQUARE. 


The  Ladies'  Memorial  Association  did  not  build  this  monu- 
ment, but  have  had  the  care  of  it  all  the  years  of  its  existence. 

On  September  14,  1865,  the  following  preamble  and  resolu- 
tions were  presented  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  by  Mr.  Emory: 

Whereas,  Many  of  the  soldiers  of  this  county  have  died  in 
defense  of  their  country  and  lie  buried  in  distant  places,  with 
nothing  to  mark  the  place  of  their  burial;  therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  That  an  appropriation  of dollars  be  made  for 

the  erection  of  a  suitable  monument  to  be  erected  in  the  Court- 
House  yard,  upon  which  the  names  of  all  the  soldiers,  who  have 
died  from  this  county  during  the  war,  with  their  company  and 
regiment,  be  inscribed. 

Above  was  referred  to  a  special  committee,  consisting  of 
Messrs.  Emory,  Matson,  and  Day,  who  were  instructed  to  pro- 
cure plans,  specifications,  and  estimates  of  said  monument,  and 
report  to  the  Board  at  its  next  meeting.

LOVE'S   LABOR  17 

At  the  April  meeting,  in  1866,  on  page  355,  Committee  re- 
ported as  follows: 

To  the  Honorable  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Peoria  County: 

Your  Committee  appointed  for  erecting  a  soldiers'  monument 
in  memory  of  the  soldiers  of  this  county  who  died  during  the 
war,  would  respectfully  report  that  they  have  received  several 
plans,  each  at  a  cost  of  ten  thousand  dollars,  and  after  mature 
consideration,  have  awarded  the  contract  to  Robert  Campbell 
for  the  above  sum,  his  plan  and  bond  being  herewith  submitted. 
Your  Committee  would  recommend  that  when  the  material  for 
said  monument  is  delivered  on  the  ground,  one-half  of  the  above 
amount  be  paid  to  the  said  Robert  Campbell,  and  the  other  half 
when  the  work  is  completed,  said  Campbell  giving  the  neces- 
sary additional  bond,  and  that  the  clerk  be  authorized  to  issue 
orders  on  the  treasurer  for  the  amount. 

Your  Committee  would  also  pray  to  be  released  from  further 
duty.  John  Emory,  Chairman. 

Mr.  Jenkins  moved  that  the  report  of  the  Committee  be  re- 
ceived and  adopted. 

Mr.  Gibbons  moved  to  amend  said  motion  by  substituting 
in  the  place  of  the  words  ''and  adopted,"  "and  that  the  Board 
pay  for  said  monument,  as  per  contract  entered  into  between 
the  Committee  and  Robert  Campbell."  Upon  call  for  the  ayes 
and  noes,  the  amendment  was  adopted  by  ayes  16,  noes  9,  and 
the  motion  as  amended  was  adopted  by  19  ayes  and  6  noes. —

THE   BAZAAR  OF   NATIONS 


THE  ENROLLMENT  ROOM. 

f 

I 

The  enrollment  room  in  block  400,  Main  Street,  was  made 
possible  by  the  kindness  of  two  Peoria  gentlemen.  They  gave 
the  ladies  in  charge  three  months  rent  free.  There  was  noth- 
ing very  attractive  about  the  furnishings  of  this  room,  but  some- 
how it  proved  a  very  kindly  meeting-place  for  passers-by,  and 
with  Memorial  Society  ladies  in  charge,  a  goodly  number  of 
dollars  was  gathered  in  for  the  work  of  art  in  hand,  as  well  as 
estabhshing  the  foundation  for  the  big  bazaar  to  follow. 


THE    BAZAAR. 

The  Bazaar  of  Nations  was  held  at  the  old  Tabernacle  in 
October,  1898. 

In  thought  we  go  back  to  those  days  when  all  Peoria  seemed 
to  come  to  our  help.  It  was  said  all  roads  led  to  the  Bazaar. 
Music  and  flowers  and  good  fellowship  greeted  all  at  the  door. 
The  first  subjects  visited  were  those  of  Emperor  Francis  Joseph, 
who  are  conducting  a  restaurant  and  fortune-telling  business 
in  their  richly  decorated  booth.  Next  to  the  Austrian  head- 
quarters f^;owned  the  granite  walls  of  Manila.  No  one,  how- 
ever, feared  passing  the  gaping  batteries,  for  none  but  loyal 
Americans  manned  the  walls. 

Beside  the  dark  walls,  the  Dingeldine  Sisters'  country  store 
was  located.  Here,  in  addition  to  all  their  wares,  one  could 
drink  cider,  the  memory  of  which  still  remains,  have  baled  hay 
delivered  on  a  wheelbarrow  by  one  of  the  charming  sisters,  and 
furnished  by  a  neighbor  who  lived  at  Bobbie  Burns'  cottage 
across  the  way,  where  oatmeal  cakes  were  purchased  as  cheaply 
as  in  old  Scotland  herself.     Beside  the  entrance  to  the  beauti- 

19 


20  LOVE'SLABOR 

ful  French  booth,  in  a  case  side  by  side,  lay  the  gift  of  a  Queen 
and  that  of  a  President's  wife. 

How  kind  they  both  were. 

Germany  held  forth  next  to  the  French,  and  dispensed  coffee 
very  acceptably  to  all  other  nationaUties. 

The  Red  Lion  Inn  filled  the  bill  to  all  lovers  of  Enghsh  din- 
ners, and  had  some  very  distinguished  guests  from  out  of  town, 
as  well  as  home-grown  patrons. 

Beside  the  EngUsh  Tavern  were  the  ruined  towers  of  Blarney 
Castle,  where  pretty  Irish  laces  were  on  exhibition,  beside  the 
Blarney  stone  of  world-wide  tradition. 

The  ItaHan  and  Holland  booths  were  worthily  represented 
by  natives  of  these  far-away  lands. 

The  South  American  quarters  were  interesting  to  all  visitors. 

The  Turkish  booth  furnished  smoking-rooms  for  their  pa- 
trons. 

The  Russian  booth  was  furnished  luxuriously  and  many  good 
things  accompanied  their  lemon  tea. 

The  African  booth,  with  its  oft-repeated  cake-walk,  was  filled 
with  visitors  most  of  the  time. 

The  printing-press,  flowers,  refreshment  tables,  dancers,  post- 
office,  and  the  motley  crowd  filled  the  ground  floor.  All  things 
come  to  an  end;  so  with  the  Bazaar.  All  the  beautiful  decora- 
tions were  taken  down,  and  the  energetic  and  devoted  ladies, 
with  the  kind  owner,  who  gave  them  the  use  of  the  building, 
shed  tears  at  its  dismantling. 


THE  DANE  AND  QUEEN'S  APRON. 

The  Queen  of  Denmark,  through  the  intercession  of  one  of 
her  subjects  living  in  America,  contributed  a  beautiful  apron 
of  peculiar  Danish  handiwork  to  the  Bazaar  of  Nations.  A 
promise  was  made  for  this  kindness,  that,  if  ever  one  of  her 
subjects  needed  a  friend,  the  friend  would  be  forthcoming. 

The  bread  cast  upon  the  waters  returned.  A  father  and 
mother  in  that  far-away  land  have  learned  of  the  whereabouts 


LOVE'S    LABOR  21 

of  a  wandering  son,  sickness  and  death   of  the  same,  and  a 
grave  marked  and  cared  for  in  Springdale  cemetery. 


WAR-SONG  CONCERT. 

The  great  war-song  concert  of  April  18,  1895,  filled  the  ''old 
tabernacle"  to  the  doors,  and  well  it  might,  for  were  not  Peoria's 
sweetest  singers  all  there,  and  the  band  that  became  so  accus- 
tomed to  playing  for  the  Memorial  Day  Association  for  noth- 
ing, "that  they  rather  liked  to  do  it"  ?  The  members  knew  we 
could  only  pay  the  tribute  of  gratitude,  and  that  we  do  give 
in  Scripture  measure. 

On  that  night  of  music  and  song  was  given  a  living  flag  for 
the  first  time  in  Peoria.  There  was  so  much  patriotism  sung 
into  the  audience  it  lasted  until  the  Cantata  of  Columbia.  This 
was  an  inspiration.  Quo  Vadis  was  an  entertainment  of  high 
merit,  and  was  followed  by  the  Bazaar  of  all  Nations,  held  in 
the  old  Tabernacle  in  October,  1898.  All  roads  led  to  that 
building  that  week.  The  door-keeper  was  a  city  official,  and 
the  ticket-seller  was  a  banker. 


THE    PICKET    GUARD 

All  quiet  along  the  Potomac,  they  say, 

Except  now  and  then  a  stray  picket 
Is  shot,  as  he  walks  on  his  beat  to  and  fro, 
By  a  rifleman  hid  in  the  thicket. 

'Tis  nothing — a  private  or  two  now  and  then 
Will  not  count  in  the  news  of  the  battle; 

Not  an  oflQcer  lost — only  one  of  the  men 
Moaning  out  all  alone,  the  death  rattle. 

All  quiet  along  the  Potomac  to-night, 

Where  the  soldiers  lie  peacefully  dreaming; 
Their  tents  in  the  rays  of  the  clear  autumn  moon, 
Or  the  light  of  the  watch-fire  gleaming. 

A  tremulous  sigh  as  the  gentle  night  wind 
Through  the  forest  leaves  softly  is  creeping; 

While  stars  up  above,  with  their  glittering  eyes 
Keep  guard — for  the  army  is  sleeping. 


22  LOVE'SLABOR 

There's  only  the  sound  of  the  lone  sentry's  tread, 
As  he  tramps  from  the  rock  to  the  fountain, 

As  he  thinks  of  the  two  in  the  low  trundle  bed, 
Far  away  in  the  cot  on  the  mountain. 

His  musket  falls  slack — his  face,  dark  and  grim, 
Grown  gentle  with  memories  tender. 

As  he  mutters  a  prayer  for  the  children  asleep — 
For  their  mother — may  heaven  defend  her! 

The  moon  seems  to  shine  just  as  brightly  as  then — 
That  night  when  the  love  yet  unspoken 
Leaped  up  to  her  lips,  when  low  miu-mured  vows 
Were  pledged  to  be  ever  unbroken. 

Then  drawing  his  sleeve  roughly  over  his  eye. 
He  dashes  off  tears  that  were  welHng; 
And  gathers  his  gun  closer  up  to  his  breast, 
As  if  to  keep  down  the  heart-sweUing. 

He  passes  the  fountain,  the  blasted  pine  tree; 

The  footsteps  are  lagging  and  weary. 
Yet  onward  he  goes  through  the  broad  belt  of  light. 

Toward  the  shade  of  the  forest  so  dreary. 

Hark!  Was  it  the  night  wind  that  rustled  the  leaves  ? 

Was  it  moonlight  so  wonderously  flashing  ? 
It  looked  like  a  rifle — Mary,  good-bye! 

And  the  Hfe  is  ebbing  and  splashing. 

All  quiet  along  the  Potomac  to-night! 

No  sound  save  the  dew  of  the  river: 
While  soft  faUs  the  dew  on  the  face  of  the  dead — • 

The  picket's  off  duty  forever!

THE    UNION    ARMY    AND 
ILLINOIS    SOLDIERS 


THE   VOLUNTEER   ARMY. 

For  pure,  unselfish  patriotism,  for  devotion  to  principle,  for 
endurance  on  the  march,  and  for  gallantry  in  the  field,  the  vol- 
unteer army  of  the  United  States,  during  the  War  of  the  Rebel- 
lion, has  no  parallel  in  the  history  of  nations. 

The  brave  boys,  who  stood  on  the  picket  Hne,  who  went  out 
as  scouts  and  skirmishers,  who  charged  on  blazing  batteries 
or  against  lines  of  steel,  were  a  citizen  soldiery. 

The  personnel  of  the  Union  army  differed  from  all  others, 
except  that  of  the  Revolution. 

If  a  tithe  of  the  isolated  facts  of  heroism,  self-denial,  and 
endurance  of  the  heroes  of  the  rank  and  file,  could  be  made 
known,  not  only  the  army,  but  the  people  at  home,  would  be 
overwhelmed  and  say  the  world  was  not  worthy  of  them. 

There  are  no  tears,  no  words  of  grief — only  a  still  agony — 
patriotism  married  to  generosity. 


SUFFERING   OF   UNION   SOLDIERS   AND   THEIR 
STEADFAST   LOYALTY   TO    COUNTRY. 

Our  boys  suffered  in  Andersonville,  in  Libby,  in  Florence. 
They  were  everywhere  where  brave  deeds  were  required. 

The  Eighty-first  Illinois  Infantry,  at  the  battle  of  Guntown, 
was  under  fire  from  ii  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  dark,  when 
the  enlisted  men  were  sent  to  Andersonville  Prison, 

The  true  history  of  the  sufferings  of  our  soldiers  in  Ander- 
sonville can  never  be  written.     The  mind  of  man  cannot  con-

vey  to  tongue  or  pen  a  language  sufficient  to  portray  the  real- 
ization of  the  sufferings  of  the  thirty  thousand  Union  soldiers 
who  gave  up  their  lives,  or  of  the  survivors  of  that  terrible  im- 
prisonment. 

No  brighter  page  adorns  the  pages  of  the  history  of  heroic 
soldiers  than  a  record  of  the  heroism  shown  by  our  soldiers 
who,  while  starving  to  death  by  inches,  refused  the  daily  offer 
of  health  and  liberty  by  simply  taking  the  oath  of  allegiance 
to  the  Confederacy.  In  every  case  the  offer  was  rejected  by 
the  members  of  the  Eighty-first  Illinois. 


CHICKAMAUGA,   MISSION  RIDGE,   LOOKOUT    MOUNTAIN 

"  A  voice  resounds  like  thunder  peal, 
'Mid  dashing  wave  and  clang  of  steel." 

All  were  drenched  with  blood  of  the  North  and  South,  and 
the  death  grapple  continued  until  Chickamauga  closed  the 
blood-flecked  page,  and  its  crimson  lids  closed  over  the  rec- 
ord, kept  now  at  the  National  Cemetery,  the  many  tablets  on 
the  battle-field  near  by  attesting  the  valor  of  our  IlHnois  boys. 


The  Ninety-fourth  had  its  origin  in  the  magnificent  burst 
of  enthusiasm  that  greeted  Mr.  Lincoln's  call,  and  was  put  in 
the  field  in  ten  days.  It  served  just  three  years,  marched  one 
thousand  two  hundred  miles,  traveled  by  rail  six  hundred  and 
ten  miles,  and  by  steamer  six  thousand,  took  part  in  nine  bat- 
tles, sieges,  and  skirmishes,  and  not  one  retreat. 

The  record  of  the  Ninety-fourth  is  the  record  of  all. 


Ilhnois  had  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  regiments  in  the 
field. 

Ninety-sixth  Infantry,  under  orders  for  Brown's  Ferry, 
rations  issued  to  each  officer  and  man  was  one  ear  of  corn.

ILLINOIS  SOLDIERS. 

Our  Illinois  soldiers  sleep  on  every  battle -field  of  the  Union, 
whether  on  mountain  top  or  in  the  valley  below — wherever 
brave  men  were  needed  Illinois's  sons  responded,  as  the  mark- 
ers on  fields  of  struggle  amply  testify  to-day.  Too  much  money 
to  put  in  a  monument,  to  do  honor  to  such  men  ?  No,  we  of 
the  Memorial  Society  do  not  think  so. 


"I    LAY    ME    DOWN    TO    SLEEP." 

These  verses  were  found  under  the  head  of  a  dead  soldier 


in  Port  Royal  Hospital: 


I  lay  me  down  to  sleep, 

With  little  care 
Whether  my  waking  find 

Me  here  or  there. 

My  good  right  hand  forgets 

Its  cunning  now; 
To  march  the  weary  march 

I  know  not  how. 

I  am  not  eager,  bold. 

Nor  strong — all  that  is  past; 
I  am  ready  not  to  do 

At  last,  at  last. 

My  half-day's  work  is  done 
And  this  is  all  my  part — 

I  give  a  patient  God 
My  patient  heart. 

And  grasp  His  banner  still, 
Though  all  the  blue  be  dim; 

These  stripes  as  well  as  stars 
Lead  after  Him.

LOVE'S    LABOR  27 

AT   PORT   ROYAL,    1861. 

The  tent  lights  glimmer  on  the  land, 

The  ship's  lights  on  the  sea. 
The  night  wind  smooths  with  drifting  sand 

Our  track  on  lone  Tybee. 

At  last  our  grating  keels  out  slide, 
Our  good  boats  forward  swing, 
And  while  we  ride  the  land-locked  tide, 
Our  negroes  row  and  sing. 

For  dear  the  bondman  holds  his  gifts 

Of  music  and  of  song; 
The  gold  that  kindly  nature  sifts 

Among  his  sands  of  wrong; 

The  power  to  make  his  toiling  days 

And  poor  home  comforts  please; 
The  quaint  relief  of  mirth  that  plays 

With  sorrow's  minor  keys. 

Another  glow  than  sunset's  fire 
Has  filled  the  west  with  light; 
Where  field  and  garner,  barn  and  byre, 
Are  blazing  through  the  night. 

The  land  is  wild  with  fear  and  hate 

The  rout  runs  mad  and  fast; 
From  hand  to  hand,  from  gate  to  gate, 

The  flaming  brand  is  passed. 

The  lurid  glow  falls  strong  across 

Dark  faces  broad  with  smiles, 
Not  theirs  the  terror,  hate,  and  loss 

That  fire  yon  blazing  piles. 

With  oar-strokes  tuning  to  their  song 

They  weave  their  simple  lays, 
The  pathos  of  remembered  wrong, 

The  hope  of  better  days; — 

The  triumph-note  that  Miriam  sung. 

The  joy  of  uncaged  birds, 
Soft'ning  with  Afric's  mellow  tongue 

Their  broken  Saxon  words. 


28  LOVE'SLABOR 

So  sing  our  dusky  gondoliers, 

And  wath  a  secret  pain, 
And  smiles  that  seem  akin  to  tears, 

We  hear  the  wild  refrain. 

We  dare  not  share  the  negro's  trust. 

Nor  yet  his  hope  deny; 
We  only  know  that  God  is  just, 

And  every  wrong  shall  die. 

Rude  seems  the  song;  each  swarthy  face, 

Flame-lighted,  ruder  still; 
We  start  to  think  that  hapless  race 

Must  shape  our  good  or  ill. 

That  laws  of  changless  justice  bind 

Oppressor  with  oppressed; 
And,  close  as  sin  to  suffering  joined, 

We  march  to  fate  abreast. 

Sing  on,  poor  hearts;  your  chant  shall  be 
Our  sign  of  blight  or  bloom— 

The  gala  song  of  Liberty 
Or  death-rune  of  our  doom. 

Mrs.  Keene. 

SONG  OF  THE  NEGRO  BOATMAN. 

Oh!  praise  and  tanks:  De  Lord  he  come 

To  set  de  people  free;

He  say  de  word:  we  last  night  slaves; 

To-day  de  Lord's  free  men. 
De  yam  will  grow,  de  cotton  blow. 

We'll  hab  de  rice  and  corn 

De  driver  blow  his  horn:

He  leab  de  land  behind; 
De  Lord's  breff  blow  him  furder  on, 

Lik  corn  shuck  in  de  wind. 
We  own  de  hoe,  we  own  de  plow, 

We  own  de  hands  that  hold. 
We  sell  de  pig,  we  sell  de  cow. 

But  nebber  chile  be  sold.

We  pray  de  Lord  he  gib  us  signs, 

Dat  some  day  we  be  free; 
De  norf  wind  tell  it  to  de  pines, 

De  wild  duck  to  de  sea; 
We  tink  when  de  church  bell  rings 

We  dream  it  in  de  dream, 
De  rice  bird  mean  it  when  he  sing 

De  eagle  when  be  scream. 

De  Lord  he  promise  soon  he  come, 
We  know  de  promise  nebber  fail 
And  nebber  lie  de  word; 

So,  like  de  'postles  in  de  jail. 
We  waited  for  de  Lord, 

And  now  he  open  every  door, 
An  trow  away  be  key; 

He  tink  we  lub  him  so  before, 
We  lub  him  better  free. 


The  Fifteenth  Army  Corps,  having  just  received  their  badge, 
a  straggler  asked  a  Nineteenth  Corps  soldier,  ''What  is  your 
badge?"  Giving  his  cartridge-box  a  slap,  he  said,  "We  have 
no  badge  but  forty  rounds." 

General  Logan  heard  the  story  and  adopted  the  cartridge- 
box,  inscribed  "Forty  Rounds,"  as  the  corps  badge.

One  of  the  most  delightful  and  inspiring  services  was  in  re-

on  their  return  from  battle,  or  on  furlough.  We  had  a  stand-

Aiken,  should  on  the  first  intimation  of  an  approaching  regi-

ment  or  company  of  soldiers,  ring  the  old  bell  of  the  Congre- 
gational church  as  a  signal.  When  this  was  heard,  be  it  early 
morning,  mid-day  or  evening,  the  women  from  all  over  the  city 
hastened  to  Rouse's  Hall  to  make  ready  for  their  welcome.  Oh ! 
the  precious  stores  which  were  forthcoming.  Nothing  was 
withheld. 

Every  opportunity  to  earn  money  for  the  beloved  work  was 
improved,  the  labor  to  accumulate  money  for  the  needs  and 
demands  of  stores,  for  home,  field  and  hospital  stores  was  great, 
but  not  too  great  for  this  labor,  for  the  soldier  took  the  place 
of  all  social  engagements,  and  even  church  was  subordinate  for 
the  time.  The  cry  was  still  coming  up  from  battle-field  and 
camp  for  more  bandages  and  lint,  more  jelly  and  home  stores 
for  the  fever-tossed,  delirious  boys,  far  from  home,  longing 
for  some  kind  hand  to  minister  to  them.  Alas!  alasl  that  we 
could  do  so  little  for  them. 

We  waited  with  bated  breath,  praying  God  to  keep  watch 
above  His  own. 


A   PEORIA   SOLDIER'S   WAYSIDE   DREAM   IN    1863. 

The  word  was  "Rest"  ;  the  dusty  road  was  rocky,  worn,  and  steep 

And  many  a  sun-browned  soldier's  face  sank  on  his  breast  to  sleep, 

Afar,  the  Alabama  hills  swept  round  in  billowy  lines, 

The  soft  green  of  their  bowery  slopes  was  dotted  dark  with  pines, 

And  from  their  tops  a  gentle  breeze,  born  in  the  cloudless  sky. 

Stole  through  the  valley,  where  a  stream  was  slowly  murmuring  by; 

And  as  it  passed  it  brought  a  cloud  of  odors  in  its  plumes, 

Of  violets  and  columbines,  and  milk-white  plumb  tree  blooms. 

The  coolness  and  the  perfume  o'er  my  weary  senses  crept, 

And  with  my  musket  on  my  arm  I  bowed  my  head  and  slept. 

No  more  the  Alabama  hills,  no  more  the  waving  pines, 

But  still  the  scent  of  violets  and  rich  wild  columbines. 

I  drew  my  breath  in  ecstasy,  my  feet  were  shod  with  joy; 

I  dreamed  I  trod  the  prairie  sod  in  my  beautiful  Illinois. 

The  lark  sang  welcome  from  the  grass  the  well-known  path  along, 

And  the  pulsations  of  my  heart  seemed  echoes  of  his  song. 

I  though  the  sunlight  never  shone  so  gloriously  before. 

But  sweeter  were  the  smiles  of  love  that  met  me  at  the  door. 

O,  hold  my  hand  while  yet  you  may,  love  of  my  earlier  years. 

And  wet  my  face,  my  mother,  with  thy  proud  and  happy  tears. 

And  bless  me  again,  my  father,  bless  me  again,  I  pray, 


LOVE'S    LABOR  31 

I  hear  the  bugle,  I  hear  the  drum,  I  have  but  an  hour  to  stay. 
Alas!  my  dreaming  words  were  true;  I  woke  and  knew  it  all, 
I  heard  the  clamor  of  the  drum — I  heard  the  captain's  call. 
And  over  all  another  voice  I  oft  had  heard  before — 
A  sound  that  stirs  the  dullest  heart — the  cannon's  muffled  roar. 
No  longer  rest,  but  forward;  for  ere  the  day  is  done 
It  will  tell  of  the  fearful  glory  of  a  battle  lost  and  won: 
And  ere  the  breath  of  its  blackened  lips  has  time  to  lift  away, 
My  hand  must  be  red  and  warm  with  blood  or  white  and  cold  as  clay, 
O,  pray  for  me  in  thy  gentle  heart,  love  of  my  earlier  years. 
And,   mother,   only  weep  for  me  those  proud  and  happy  tears. 
And  bless  me  again.  My  Father,  bless  me  while  yet  you  may; 
My  dream -words  may  be  doubly  true,  I  may  have  but  an  hour  to  stay.

MEMORIAL   DAY 


It's  us  that  knew  the  bitter  days, 

It's  us  that  went  to  die, 
I  guess  WE  got  a  right  to  shout 

When  Glory  flutters  by. 

We  ain't  a  Standin'  Army  now — 

In  fact,  we're  gray  and  lame, 
A  trifle  stiff  about  the  knees 

And  shakin'  in  our  aim. 

We're  gettin'  scarce — but,  bless  yer  heart, 

If  Country  called  for  Men, 
We'd  sign  the  roll   "Age  21," 

And  save  that  Flag  again! 

Wallace  Irwin  (1905). 


A  MEMORIAL  DAY. 

The  past  rises  before  me  like  a  dream. 

Again  we  are  in  the  great  struggle  for  national  hfe.  We  hear 
the  sounds  of  preparation,  the  music  of  boisterous  drums,  the 
silver  voices  of  heroic  bugles.  We  see  thousands  of  assem- 
blages, and  hear  the  appeals  of  orators;  we  see  the  pale  cheeks 
of  women  and  the  flushed  faces  of  men ;  in  these  assemblages 
we  see  all  the  dead,  whose  dust  we  have  covered  with  flowers. 
We  lose  sight  of  them  no  more.  We  are  with  them  when  they 
enlist  in  the  great  army  of  freedom. 

We  see  them  part  with  those  they  love.  Some  are  walking 
for  the  last  time,  in  quiet,  woody  places,  with  the  maidens  they 
adore.  We  hear  the  whisperings  and  sweet  vows  of  eternal 
love,  as  they  lingeringly  part  forever.  Other  are  bending  over 
cradles,  kissing  babes  that  are  asleep.     Some  are  receiving  the 

33 


34  LOVE'SLABOR 

blessing  of  old  men.  Some  are  parting  with  mothers,  who  hold 
them  and  press  them  to  their  hearts  again  and  again,  and  say 
nothing. 

Kisses  and  tears,  tears  and  kisses — divine  mingling  of  agony 
and  love!  And  some  are  talking  with  wives,  and  endeavoring 
with  brave  words,  spoken  in  the  old  tones,  to  drive  from  their 
hearts  the  awful  fear.  We  see  them  part.  We  see  the  wife 
standing  in  the  door  wuth  the  babe  in  her  arms — standing  in 
the  sunlight  sobbing.  At  the  turn  of  the  road  a  hand  waves. 
She  answers  by  holding  high  in  her  loving  arms  the  child. 

He  is  gone,  and  forever. 

We  see  them  all,  as  they  march  proudly  aw^ay  under  the 
flaunting  flags,  keeping  time  to  the  grand,  wild  music  of  war — 
marching  down  the  streets  of  great  cities — through  the  towns, 
and  across  prairies,  down  to  the  fields  of  glory,  to  do  and  to  die 
for  the  eternal  right. 

We  go  with  them,  one  and  all.  We  are  by  their  side  on  all 
the  gory  fields,  in  all  the  hospitals  of  pain,  on  all  the  weary 
marches. 

We  stand  guard  with  them  in  the  wild  storm,  and  under  the 
quiet  stars. 

We  are  with  them  in  ravines  running  with  blood — in  the 
furrows  of  old  fields. 

We  are  with  them  between  contending  hosts,  unable  to  move, 
wild  with  thirst,  the  life  ebbing  slowly  away  among  the  with- 
ered leaves. 

We  see  them  pierced  by  ball  and  torn  with  shells,  in  the 
trenches,  by  forts,  and  in  whirlwind  of  the  charge,  where  men 
become  iron,  with  nerves  of  steel. 

We  are  with  them  in  the  prisons  of  hatred  and  famine,  but 
human  speech  can  never  tell  what  they  endured. 

We  are  at  home  when  the  news  comes  that  they  are  dead. 
We  see  the  maiden  in  the  shadow  of  her  first  sorrow.  We  see 
see  the  silvered  head  of  the  old  man  bowed  with  the  last  grief. 
The  past  rises  before  us,  and  we  see  four  miUions  of  human 
beings  governed  by  the  lash — see  them  bound  hand  and  foot. 
We  hear  the  strokes  of  cruel  whips;  we  see  the  hounds  track-

ing  women  through  cruel  swamps.  We  see  babes  sold  from 
the  breasts  of  mothers.  Cruelty  unspeakable!  Outrage  infi- 
nite! Four  million  bodies  in  chains,  four  million  souls  in  fet- 
ters. All  the  sacred  relations  of  wife,  mother,  father,  and  child 
trampled  beneath  the  brutal  feet  of  might.  And  all  this  was 
done  under  our  own  beautiful  banner  of  the  free. 

The  past  rises  before  us.  We  hear  the  roar  and  shriek  of 
the  bursting  shell.  The  broken  fetters  fall.  These  heroes  died. 
We  look.  Instead  of  slaves,  we  see  men  and  women  and  chil- 
dren. The  wand  of  progress  touches  the  auction -block,  the 
slave-pen,  the  whipping-post,  and  we  see  homes  and  firesides 
and  school-houses  and  books,  and  where  all  was  crime  and 
cruelty,  and  fear,  we  see  the  faces  of  the  free. 

These  heroes  are  dead. 

They  died  for  liberty — they  died  for  us. 

They  are  at  rest.  They  sleep  in  the  land  they  made  free, 
under  the  flag  they  rendered  stainless,  under  the  solemn  pines, 
the  sad  hemlocks,  the  tearful  willows,  and  the  embracing  vines. 
They  sleep  beneath  the  shadows  of  the  clouds,  careless  ahke  of 
sunshine  and  of  storm,  each  in  the  windowless  palace  of  rest. 

Earth  may  run  red  with  other  wars  —  they  are  at  peace.  In 
the  midst  of  battle,  in  the  roar  of  conflict,  they  found  the  seren- 
ity of  death. 

I  have  one  sentiment  for  soldiers,  Hving  and  dead:  Cheers 
for  the  living,  tears  for  the  dead.  A  Peoria  Soldier, 

For  whom  this  monument  is  reared.

THE  VACANT  CHAIR. 

We  shall  meet,  but  we  shall  miss  him, 
There  will  be  one  vacant  chair; 

We  shall  linger  to  caress  him, 

While  we  breathe  our  evening  prayer; 

When  a  year  ago  we  gathered, 

Joy  was  in  his  mild  blue  eye, 
But  a  golden  cord  was  severed. 
And  our  hopes  in  ruin  lie. 

We  shall  meet,  but  we  shall  miss  him. 
There  will  be  one  vacant  chair;

When  we  breathe  our  evening  prayer.

Often  will  the  bosom  swell.

How  our  noble  Willie  fell; 

How  he  strove  to  bear  our  banner 

Thro'  the  thickest  of  the  fight, 
And  uphold  our  country's  honor, 

In  the  strength  of  manhood's  might. 

True,  they  tell  us,  wreaths  of  glory.

But  this  soothes  the  anguish  only, 
Sweeping  o'er  our  heartstrings  now; 

Sleep  to-day,  O  early  fallen.

PEORIA    LADIES'   MEMORIAL 

SOCIETY 


RECORD    OF    THE    PATRIOTISM    OF    PEORIA'S 

LOYAL    WOMEN. 

At  a  recent  national  encampment  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the 
RepubUc,  one  of  the  speakers  mentioned,  incidentally,  that  of 
all  the  women's  societies  in  attendance  the  one  from  Peoria, 
with  but  a  single  exception,  was  the  only  one  that  had  main- 
tained its  organization  from  the  early  days  of  the  Civil  War, 
without  ever  having  disbanded.  That  great  audience,  com- 
posed of  representative  men  of  the  whole  country  from  Maine 
to  Texas  and  Carolina  to  California,  stood  and  cheered  Peoria 
to  the  echo. 

The  work  of  Peoria  women  during  the  Civil  conflict  is,  per- 
haps, best  told  in  the  words  of  Mrs.  Lucie  B.  Tyng,  who  was 
life  president  of  the  association. 

The  first  gun  fired  at  Sumter  sounded  and  resounded  all  over 
the  land.  In  cottage  and  hamlet,  as  well  as  city  and  town,  it 
penetrated  the  hearts  and  ears  of  women  as  well  as  men.  It 
fired  the  spirit  of  patriotism  in  all,  the  first  result  of  which  was 
the  organization  of  Woman's  National  League  of  Peoria. 

Mrs.  Tyng's  history  of  the  patriotism  of  Peoria  women,  writ- 
ten in  1887,  follows: 

Mrs.  Curtenius  was  president  as  long  as  the  League  existed, 
Mrs.  William  Weis  was  vice-president,  Mrs.  L.  R.  Webb  and 
Mrs.  Julia  P.  Bourland,  secretary,  and  Miss  Lizzie  Calligan, 
treasurer  after  the  first  year.  Mrs.  Lucie  B.  Tyng  succeeded 
Mrs.  Bourland  in  1865. 

The  labors  of  this  Society  in  behalf  of  our  soldiers  were  man-

ifold,  and  dififerent  organizations  attended  to  specific  interests 
under  the  one  general  head.  The  "Soldiers'  Aid  Society"  con- 
fined its  operations  chiefly  to  the  soldiers  in  the  field;  the  "Sol- 
diers' Relief  Society"  attended  mainly  to  the  relief  of  suft'ering 
in  the  famihes  of  those  who  had  gone  to  risk  life  in  defense  of 
their  common  country;  while  a  "Soldiers'  Rest"  was  estab- 
Hshed  and  maintained  by  the  "League,"  where  soldiers  could 
find  a  temporary  home  in  their  goings  to  and  from  the  field  of 
battle.  Receptions  were  held,  all  manner  of  stores  provided, 
in  connection  with  the  Christian  and  Sanitary  Commissions, 
and  the  comfort  of  our  soldiers  looked  after  in  all  possible  ways. 
The  aggregate  resources  of  the  League  from  first  to  last  were: 

Receipts  from  June  3,  1863,  to  July  5,  1866,  $11,692.10  in 
money  and  $1,948.64  in  sanitary  stores.     Of  this — 

$1,935.05  was  expended  in  dinners  and  festivals. 

$1,485.70  in  receptions  to  soldiers. 

$2,913.40  in  Soldiers'  Rest. 

$1,085.75  in  care  of  sick  soldiers. 

$1,307.64  in  sanitary  stores  (additional). 

$2,162.63  in  Freedman's  Society,  etc.,  etc. 

On  July  5,  1866,  the  League  merged  itself  by  a  unanimous 
vote  into  "The  Soldiers'  Monument  Society,"  agreeing  to  give 
the  balance  in  its  treasury,  $82.19,  as  a  nucleus  towards  a  fund 
for  a  monument  to  be  erected  on  the  soldiers'  lot  in  Springdale 
Cemetery,  which  had  been  kindly  donated  by  the  Springdale 
Cemetery  Association  for  that  purpose.  The  officers  of  the 
new  association  elected  at  this  time  were,  Mrs.  Curtenius,  pres- 
ident; Mrs.  WiUiam  Weis,  vice-president;  Mrs.  T.  L.  Pether- 
bridge,  secretary,  and  Mrs.  W.  A.  Herron,  treasurer. 

The  following  item,  taken  from  Mrs.  Easton's  scrap-book, 
makes  mention  of  the  first  result  of  the  work  of  this  society. 

THE    SOLDIERS'    HEADSTONES. 

"The  headstones,  thirty-one  in  number,  designed  to  be  placed 
at  the  head  of  each  of  the  soldiers'  graves  in  Springdale  Cem- 
etery, are  now  ready,  and  will  be  placed  in  their  position  today. 
They  are  small  oval  cottage  tablets,  and  were  made  by  Robert

Campbell.  This  is  the  first  of  the  results  of  the  noble  work  of 
the  Ladies'  Springdale  Monument  Association.  With  the  mon- 
ument, which  it  is  designed  to  place  in  the  center  of  the  soldiers' 
lot  next  fall  or  spring,  the  last  resting-place  of  these  fallen  he- 
roes will  be  appropriately  marked." 

The  Society  continued  in  active  operation  until  1870,  when, 
the  fund  for  the  monument,  $2,500.00,  was  completed,  and  also 
the  sum  of  $100.00  paid  into  the  treasury  of  the  Cemetery  Asso- 
ciation for  the  perpetual  care  of  the  soldiers'  lot.  The  money 
thus  secured  was  the  fruit  of  much  labor  and  self-denial  on  the 
part  of  the  ladies,  as  well  as  of  generous  co-operation  on  the 
part  of  citizens.  The  Soldiers'  Monument  at  Springdale  was 
dedicated  on  Memorial  Day  (May  30th),  and  from  then  until 
now  services  have  been  held  on  that  spot  each  succeeding  year 
in  memorv  of  our  brave  soldiers  who  have  fallen  in  Life's  bat- 
tie  since  then  as  well  as  those  who  died  during  active  service. 

For  years  the  observance  of  Memorial  Day  in  Peoria  was  due 
largely  to  the  efforts  of  these  ladies  of  the  Soldiers'  Monument 
Society,  who  always  took  the  initial  steps  and  were  generously 
supported  by  the  citizens  generally,  they  considering  it  a  sacred 
duty  and  pleasure. 

As  during  the  lapse  of  years  many  of  the  charter  members  of 
the  League  dropped  out  of  our  ranks,  from  either  removal  from 
our  city  or  from  being  called  to  the  higher  service,  Mrs.  Cur- 
tenius,  our  president  of  many  years,  having  gone  to  reside 
in  New  York,  our  numbers  were  added  to  by  the  younger  wo- 
men, who  learned  loyalty  and  gratitude  to  the  soldier  at  their 
mother's  knee. 

These  united  with  us  in  the  same  organization,  and  as  the 
one  privilege  which  remained  to  us  of  our  long-time  labor  of  love 
was  the  grateful  observance  of  ''Memorial  Day,"  we  again,  in 
1876,  reorganized  ourselves  into  the  "Ladies'  Decoration  Day 
Association,"  inviting  all  ladies  to  unite  with  us  in  the  obser- 
vance of  the  day.  Now  for  the  sake  of  making  our  work  per- 
petual, we  again  elected  officers,  and  our  Secretary  since  then 
has  kept  minute  and  faithful  record  of  the  observance  of  each 
Memorial  Day.  Mrs.  Lucie  B.  Tyng.

BRAVE   WORK    OF    PEORIA   WOMEN    AT   OUT- 
BREAK  OF   THE   CIVIL   WAR. 

The  occasion  called  for  a  speedy  enlistment  and  equipment 
of  volunteer  regiments.  But  then,  as  now,  many  were  con- 
servative and  doubtful.  Some  women  talked  disparagingly. 
It  was  decided  to  crystallize,  as  far  as  possible,  the  influence 
of  the  loyal  women  to  help  form  public  opinion,  and  in  that 
way  lend  aid  to  the  government. 

In  our  own  city  a  meeting  was  called  on  June  3,  1863,  in 
Rouse's  Hall,  and  this  was  presided  over  by  the  Hon.  H.  H. 
Leavitt,  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio,  a  delegate  to  the  Na- 
tional Presbyterian  General  Assembly,  then  in  session  in  this 
city.  Then  and  there  a  society  was  organized,  bearing  the 
name  of  the  Woman's  National  League. 

The  members  subscribed  to  a  pledge,  as  follows : 

We,  the  undersigned,  women  of  Peoria,  beheving  that  in  this 
every  influence,  moral  as  well  as  military,  should  be  brought 
to  bear  in  the  great  struggle  for  national  existence  against  a 
wicked  rebellion,  and  that,  while  our  fathers,  husbands,  sons, 
and  brothers  are  giving  their  treasure  and  their  blood,  it  is  our 
duty  to  contribute  the  influence  which  God  has  given  us  in 
our  social  sphere  to  the  same  holy  cause,  and  that  in  this  sol- 
emn crisis  loyalty  to  our  country  is  bound  to  be  outspoken, 
even  in  the  cause,  as  true  loyalty  to  God. 

We,  therefore,  do  constitute  ourselves  an  association  to  be 
known  as  The  Woman's  National  League,  of  Peoria,  and  do 
pledge  our  unconditional  adhesion  to  our  national  government 
in  its  struggle  against  the  present  rebellion,  engaging  to  assist 
it  by  whatever  means  may  be  in  our  power,  in  the  maintenance 
of  our  national  Union  and  the  integrity  of  our  national  domain. 

To  this  end,  we  further  resolve  and  pledge  ourselves  to  en- 
courage and  sustain  our  brave  soldiers  by  deeds  of  kindness 
and  by  words  of  cheer,  to  use  every  fitting  opportunity  of  ex- 
pressing our  unflinching  determination  to  stand  by  the  dear  old 
flag,  and  to  honor  those  who  fight  in  its  defense,  until  the  day 
of  its  sure  and  certain  triumph,  and  to  prove,  in  every  way  we 
can,  that  we  consider  loyalty  to  our  country  a  part  of  our  alle- 
giance to  "our  God."

Aunt  Lizzie  Aiken,  of  Peoria,  may  well  be  proud  of  her  rec-

fingers  closed  in  that  long  sleep.  Her  boys,  as  she  loved  to  call 
them.  How  many  messages  from  dying  lips  her  ears  listened 
to?  ''Tell  my  mother,"  "my  father,"  "my  sister,"  "my  broth-

last  grasp,  to  look  up  to  the  God  of  battles. 


A    STREET    SCENE. 

A  Peoria  soldier  with  Banks  in  the  Red  River  expedition  was 
wounded,  carried  to  New  Orleans  Hospital,  and  promised  a  fur- 
lough as  soon  as  able  to  travel.  A  wife  went  to  the  Levee  to 
meet  her  soldier  husband.  Not  finding  him  on  the  boat  as  ex- 
pected, she  went  to  the  post-office  in  Rouse's  Hall,  where  letters 
awaited  her,  telling  of  his  death.  For  a  time  reason  seenied 
to  totter  on  its  throne,  but  later  this  brave  woman  with  three 
little  children,  and  oh!  so  poor,  said,  "If  my  husband's  life  helps 
to  save  the  Union,  I  am  willing  to  make  the  sacrifice."  The 
Memorial  Society  outfitted  her  and  paid  her  way  back  to  a  New 
England  roof  tree,  where  she  entered  the  cotton  factory  of  girl- 
hood days,  to  earn  a  livelihood  for  self  and  children.

LINCOLN   AND   McKINLEY 


ABRAHAM    LINCOLN. 

''The  second  founder  of  the  repubhc.  His  strength  rested 
on  two  rocks — unflinching  principle  and  illimitable  common 
sense." — Lord  Rosebery. 


LINCOLN. 

Lincoln  lived  until  there  remained  nothing  for  him  to  do  as 
great  as  he  had  done. 

With  him,  men  were  neither  great  nor  small — they  were 
right  or  wrong.     He  loved  the  truth  for  truth's  sake. 

To  be  President,  to  be  King,  has  happened  to  many. 

To  be  enshrined  in  the  hearts  of  mankind  has  been  vouch- 
safed to  few. 

The  awful  tragedy  that  has  swept  over  America  like  a  wave 
of  woe, — tongue  cannot  express  the  grief  that  weighs  down 
the  spirit,  and  presses  on  every  heart  that  throbs  for 
liberty. 

We  seem  hurled  backward  for  centuries.  We  mourn  the 
great  heart,  so  true  and  good  that  a  nation  loved  him.  The 
mighty,  changeless  will  that  held  milHons  of  traitors  in  awe  and 
dread;  that  wonderful  intellect  that  has  guided  us  in  safety 
through  seas  of  blood  into  sight  of  the  heaven  of  peace, — we 
do  not  appreciate  our  loss;  we  cannot  realize  or  comprehend 
the  greatness  of  Abraham  Lincoln. 

The  dwellers  on  the  mountain  side  cannot  see  the  mountain. 
When  our  children's  children  shall  look  back  from  the  great 
plain  of  the  future  they  will  see  him  in  all  the  subhmity  and 

43

grandeur  of  his  colossal  proportions.  But  we,  to-day,  remem- 
bering his  goodness  and  purity,  his  firm  will,  true  to  the  coun- 
try in  its  hour  of  peril,  his  honesty  of  purpose,  the  nobility  of 
the  man,  can  find  no  words  to  express  an  universal  woe. 

In  sad,  in  solemn,  silence  we  bow  down  our  heads.  We 
weep  bitter,  blinding  tears  for  the  great  heart,  noble,  magnan- 
imous soul.     Since  Washington,  thy  country's  noblest  birth. 

Our  Lincoln — dead. 


WAS  LINCOLN  A  CHRISTIAN? 

The  mightiest  agency  in  the  universe  is  prayer,  and  it  turns 
even  the  Almighty. 

It  decides  the  destinies  of  indi\iduals,  famiHes  and  nations. 
During  our  sad  Civil  War  a  gentleman,  who  was  a  guest  at 
the  White  House,  in  Washington,  gave  this  incident:  'T  had 
been  spending  three  weeks  in  the  \Vhite  House  with  Mr.  Lin- 
coln as  a  guest.  One  night — it  was  just  after  the  battle  of 
Bull  Run — I  was  restless  and  could  not  sleep.  I  was  repeat- 
ing the  part  which  I  was  to  take  in  a  pubHc  performance.  The 
hour  was  past  midnight.  Indeed,  it  was  coming  near  to  the 
the  dawn,  when  I  heard  low  tones  proceeding  from  a  private 
room  where  the  President  slept.  The  door  was  partly  open. 
I  instinctively  walked  in  and  there  I  saw  a  sight  which  I  shall 
never  forget.  It  was  the  President  kneeling  before  an  open 
Bible.  The  fight  was  turned  low  in  the  room.  His  back  was 
turned  toward  me;  for  a  moment  I  was  silent  as  I  stood  look- 
ing in  amazement  and  wonder.  Then  he  cried  out  in  tones 
so  pitiful  and  sorrowful:  ^Oh,  thou  God  that  heard  Solomon 
in  the  night  when  he  prayed  for  wisdom,  hear  me!  I  cannot 
guide  the  affairs  of  this  nation  without  thy  help.  I  am  poor 
and  sinful.  Oh,  God,  who  didst  hear  Solomon  when  he  cried 
for  wisdom,  hear  me  and  save  the  nation.' " 

You  see  we  don't  need  to  go  back  to  Bible  times  for  evi- 
dence that  prayer  is  heard  and  answered. —  Rev.  Dr.  Tal-

McKINLEY'S    LIFE. 

The  glint  of  a  sentry's  bayonet  could  be  seen  over  the  heads 
of  the  crowd,  moving  back  and  forth,  safe-guarding  the  entrance 
to  the  resting-place  of  a  President  of  the  United  States  who  had 
gladly  given  his  younger  years  to  the  work  of  Sunday-school 
teaching  and  superintending.  Ohio's  state  Sunday-school  con- 
vention had  adjourned  from  the  mammoth  auditorium  where, 
the  evening  before,  fifty-five  hundred  persons  had  assembled 
themselves  in  the  interests  of  improved  Sunday-school  work, 
and  had  come  to  the  tomb  of  McKinley,  there  to  honor  his 
memory,  and  to  gain  fresh  inspiration  from  the  story  of  his  life 
and  character. 

The  June  afternoon  was  in  keeping  with  the  beauty  and  im- 
pressiveness  of  the  scene.  The  sky  was  clear  blue  overhead, 
while  the  sunhght  filtered  through  the  rich  green  foliage  of  the 
thickly  overshadowing  trees  of  West  Lawn  Cemetery.  Close 
to  the  modest  little  gray  stone  tomb  stood  the  worshipers,  sur- 
rounding it  on  all  sides,  while  at  one  side  stood  a  sentinel  in 
khaki  and  broad-brimmed  campaign  hat,  a  fellow-sentinel  pa- 
cing to  and  fro  on  the  other  side  of  the  space  before  the  entrance. 
As  Dr.  Joseph  Clark  raised  his  voice  in  prayer,  the  sentinels' 
hats  were  reverently  doffed,  and  both  stood  motionless. 

President  McKinley's  army  comrade  and  Canton  pastor,  the 
Rev.  C.  E.  Manchester,  D.  D.,  told  of  his  friend  as  he  so  well 
knew  him, — as  man,  husband,  soldier,  statesman,  and  ruler. 
After  the  address  one  of  the  boys  in  khaki  stepped  up  to  Dr. 
Manchester,  and,  putting  out  his  hand,  blurted  out  heartily: 
''I  just  wanted  to  shake  your  hand.  I  knew  President  McKin- 
ley; I  was  on  duty  in  Washington  when  he  was  there.  That 
was  a  good  talk  you  put  up  about  him." 

Dr.  Manchester's  Address. 

One  of  the  leaders  of  Protestantism,  standing  by  the  casket 
of  McKinley,  in  the  rotunda  of  the  capitol  at  Washington,  said: 
"The  years  draw  on  when  his  name  shall  be  counted  among 
the  illustrious  of  the  earth.     He  shall  summon  all  statesmen 


46  LOVE'SLABOR 

and  all  his  countrymen  to  purer  living,  nobler  aims,  sweeter 
faith,  and  immortal  blessedness." 

An  educator  of  world-wide  prominence  said,  speaking  of  our 
three  martyrs:  "These  three  graves  have  been  dug  in  the  heart 
of  the  American  people,  but  they  will  keep  the  heart  of  the  na- 
tion strong  and  pure." 

The  leading  financier  of  that  day  said :  "The  ordinary  trib- 
utes paid  to  the  memory  of  the  great  when  they  pass  from  earth 
utterly  fail  to  satisfy  the  mind  in  an  attempted  application  of 
them  to  our  dead  President." 

Said  an  eminent  churchman:  "Rehgion  is  the  stronger  in 
America  to-day  for  Wilham  McKinley's  death." 

A  Jewish  rabbi  said:  "Speaking  epigrammatically,  we  might 
say  that  Washington  created  the  Union,  Lincoln  preserved 
the  Union,  McKinley  expanded  the  Union.  His  supremely  re- 
ligious life  made  of  him  an  ideal  President  of  the  nation  on  a 

o 

plane  with  Washington  and  Lincoln." 

The  greatest  of  living  diplomats  said  to  the  Congress  of  the 
United  States:  "The  moral  value  to  a  nation  of  a  renown  such 
as  Lincoln's  and  McKinley's  is  beyond  all  computation.  No 
loftier  ideal  can  be  held  up  to  the  emulation  of  ingenuous 
youth." 

These  are  but  samples  of  eulogies  pronounced  by  men  of  all 
shades  of  religious  faith  and  political  belief  when  our  sorrow 
was  but  fresh  upon  us.  I  think  there  may  have  been  a  con- 
viction, or  at  least  a  fear,  among  conservative  thinkers,  that  in 
the  excitement  of  mind  necessarily  prevalent  at  that  moment 
extravagant  speech  had  been  employed,  and  that  time  would 
reduce  our  dead  President  to  the  ranks  of  ordinary  mortals. 

We,  however,  wrote  his  virtues  and  deeds  side  by  side  upon 
the  scroll  of  honor,  with  the  conviction  that  his  fame  was  se- 
cure for  all  time  to  come.  We  are  convinced  that  we  were  not 
mistaken.  Since  that  moment  not  one  iota  of  the  glory  which 
we  believed  to  be  his  has  been  obscured  by  passing  years.  No 
leaf  has  been  plucked  from  the  wreath  with  which  he  was 
crowned.  There  have  been  no  after-death  discoveries  to  dim 
the  white  hght  that  shone  about  him.     The  sense  of  loss  is 


LOVE'SLABOR  47 

scarcely  dulled  even  yet,  but  we  are  proud  to  have  had  him 
among  us,  and  we  will  keep  him  forever  enshrined  in  memory. 
One  thing  we  can  see  clearly  in  the  unfolding  of  these  recent 
years:  He  left  a  loftier  ideal  for  American  politics  and  Ameri- 
can citizenship. 

His  hfe  is  a  fruitful  study.  It  is  replete  with  pleasant  sur- 
prises. He  was  fortunate  in  everything — in  his  birth,  in  his 
life,  in  his  death.  He  was  born  well.  We  pause  for  a  moment 
to  speak  of  the  Godly  mother  whose  memory  the  world  cher- 
ishes. A  characteristic  of  Mother  McKinley  was  her  unvary- 
ing cheerfulness.  When  her  pastor  suggested  to  her  once  that 
the  way  must  be  growing  brighter  as  she  advanced  toward  her 
heavenly  home,  she  replied  that  it  had  been  bright  all  the  way. 
And  yet  there  had  been  many  and  sore  bereavements. 

The  early  home  of  William  McKinley  was  neither  among 
the  rich  nor  among  the  poor.  It  was  a  home  in  which  great 
sturdiness  of  character  was  nianifest,  where  industry  abounded. 
It  was  a  typical  American  home,  and  such  are  the  hope  of  the 
nation. 

One  of  his  eulogists  said  of  him,  "He  walked  in  perfect  and 
noble  self-control,"  and  it  was  true.  He  was  not  swayed  by 
every  passing  breeze  of  public  thought  and  sentiment,  but  after 
having  reached  a  conclusion,  which  was  only  done  after  care- 
ful study  of  the  entire  situation,  he  was  satisfied  and  immov- 
able. Completeness  of  thought,  a  rare  and  admirable  quahty, 
which  sees  a  statement  in  its  logical  sequence,  an  absence  of 
crudity,  was  characteristic  of  him. 

His  conscientiousness  was  superb.  No  clamor  of  the  public 
press,  no  vituperation  on  the  part  of  those  who  opposed,  could 
swerve  him  for  an  instant  from  the  plain  beaten  track  of  duty. 
The  spiritual  side  of  his  life  was  constantly  apparent.  He  was 
particularly  appreciative  of  the  good  will  and  commendation 
of  Christians,  and  often  expressed  himself  as  grateful  for  their 
support,  and  coveted  the  prayers  of  such  as  had  learned  to 
plead  with  God.  His  contribution  to  the  cause  of  practical  re- 
ligion is  beyond  computation. 

No  service  in  the  memory  of  President  McKinley  could  be 


48  L  OjV  E  '  S    L  A  BO  R 

complete  which  did  not  refer  to  his  miHtary  career,  for  here 
also  he  gained  well-merited  distinction.  ...  It  would  not  be 
in  harmony  with  the  spirit  of  this  hour  to  enter  into  a  full  dis- 
cussion of  that  period  of  his  hfe,  but  one  lesson  at  least  should 
be  emphasized,  and  it  is  this,  that  fideHty  characterized  every 
action  as  elsewhere. 

Without  display  he  performed  each  duty,  no  matter  how  per- 
ilous. He  may  have  been  conscious  of  danger,  but  he  did  not 
attempt  to  escape  it.  Where  duty  called,  he  went — went  quietly, 
unassumingly,  and  always  did  the  work  intrusted  to  him.  The 
mere  question  of  personal  danger  was  overshadowed  by  the 
duty  that  impelled.  No  one  would  have  dreamed  such  things 
who  saw  that  beardless  boy,  but  here  are  the  facts :  At  seven- 
teen a  private  soldier,  at  twenty-one  a  major,  at  fifty-four  com- 
mander-in-chief, by  virtue  of  his  office,  of  the  armies  and  na- 
vies of  the  United  States;  nor  was  it  an  empty  title.  When 
the  war  with  Spain  came  on,  this  cautious  leader,  well  know- 
ing the  horrors  of  war,  hesitated,  but  when  the  supreme  mo- 
ment arrived,  it  was  a  brave  spirit  and  an  intelligent  mind  that 
directed  affairs.  No  more  generous  commander  ever  dictated 
terms  of  peace.  There  was  but  one  thought — absolute  fairness 
and  as  much  leniency  as  comported  with  the  safety  of  the  na- 
tion and  the  peace  of  the  world. 

As  a  statesman  the  fame  of  McKinley  is  amply  secure.  Mr. 
John  Hay,  than  whom  no  one  living  could  speak  more  intelli- 
gently, asserted  that  "he  was  a  past  master  in  the  art  of  states- 
manship." A  dihgent  student  of  the  resources  of  the  country 
and  of  the  necessities  of  trade  and  commerce,  it  was  easy  for 
him  to  comprehend  the  relation  of  one  interest  to  another. 
Coupled  with  this,  a  wide  and  happy  acquaintance  with  lead- 
ing men  of  all  classes  and  parties,  with  a  profound  respect  and 
love  for  humanity  at  large,  and  we  find  a  basis  upon  which  real 
statesmanship  may  rest.  The  last  address,  delivered  by  him 
at  Buffalo,  was  the  product  of  a  cultured  mind,  and  showed  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  principles  of  national  prosperity. 

It  was  a  proud  moment  for  the  President.  His  pastor  had 
had  expressed  regret  that  he  had  determined  to  go  into  that 


LOVE'SLABOR  49 

crowd  and  take  the  risks  of  such  an  act,  but  he  said,  "This  is 
a  gathering  of  all  the  Americas,  the  people  expect  me,  I  am 
their  President,  and  I  must  be  there."  To  another,  a  neigh- 
bor, he  said,  "If  anything  happens  to  me,  I  want  you  to  know 
that  I  am  prepared  to  meet  my  God."  And  so,  as  a  benig- 
nant and  wise  father  cares  and  plans  for  his  children,  he  calmly 
discussed  problems  in  which  markets  and  manufacturers  were 
prominent  features,  declared  reciprocity  was  in  harmony  with 
the  genius  of  the  age,  while  the  spirit  of  retaliation  was  utterly 
foreign  to  it.  Then,  lifting  his  hands  in  blessing,  he  commend- 
ed his  country  to  the  care  of  its  great  Ruler,  and  with  supreme 
confidence  in  Him  and  in  the  future,  turned  towards  the  tra- 
gedy which  was  hidden  from  him  and  from  us  but  a  few  short 
steps.  ...  He  recognized  the  existence  and  sovereignty  of 
God.  His  addresses  and  state  papers  abounded  with  refer- 
ences to  Him.  The  very  last  words  uttered  by  him  in  pubhc 
address,  on  the  occasion  of  his  speech  at  Buffalo,  but  a  few 
brief  moments  before  he  was  stricken  down  by  the  assassin, 
were  these:  "Our  earnest  prayer  is  that  God  will  graciously 
vouchsafe  prosperity,  happiness,  and  peace  to  all  our  neighbors, 
and  Hke  blessings  to  all  the  people  and  powers  of  earth." 

Referring  to  him  further,  as  a  Christian,  it  is  pleasant  to  re- 
member that  in  speaking  to  a  number  of  Christian  ministers 
and  friends  who  called  upon  him  at  the  White  House,  discuss- 
ing the  Phihppines,  he  said:  "I  walked  the  floor  of  the  White 
House  night  after  night  until  midnight,  and  I  am  not  ashamed 
to  tell  you,  gentlemen,  that  I  went  down  on  my  knees  and 
prayed  for  hght  and  guidance  more  than  one  night  before  the 
answer  came,  but  when  it  came,  I  was  satisfied." 

In  the  same  interview,  he  said:  "I  am  a  Methodist,  noth- 
ing but  a  Methodist,  a  Christian,  and  nothing  but  a  Christian, 
and  by  the  blessing  of  heaven,  I  mean  to  live  and  die,  please 
God,  in  the  faith  of  my  mother."  His  mother's  God  was  his, 
and  he  reveled  in  the  thought.  In  early  manhood  he  gave  his 
life  to  his  divine  Master,  and,  Hke  Paul,  he  kept  the  faith  until 
he  finished  the  course.  At  the  same  time  there  was  an  utter 
absence  of  cant.     There  was  no  wearing  of  religion  upon  his 


50  LOVE'SLABOR 

coat  sleeve.  It  was  his  daily  life,  and  he  drew  unfailing  strength 
from  daily  prayer  and  study  of  the  Bible.  Therefore  it  was 
easy  for  him  to  recline  upon  God  when  death  came.  It  was 
with  him  a  familiar  experience,  and,  as  the  stricken  child  in- 
stinctively finds  refuge  in  its  mother's  arms,  so  he  turned  by 
sheer  force  of  habit  and  faith  to  Him  in  whom  he  trusted. 


"Of  all  who  are  here  to  greet  me,  I  prize  most  the  presence 
of  these  men,  who  fought  in  the  great  war  (turning  toward  the 
Grand  Army  Veterans.)  Two  years  ago  you  welcomed  here 
your  comrade  and  my  chief,  the  late  President  McKinley. 

"He  did  his  part  in  war  as  in  peace,  and  if  it  had  not  been 
for  the  efforts  that  you  and  he  put  forth,  we  could  have  had 
neither  an  American  country  nor  an  American  President  to-day." 
— Roosevelt,  in  his  Peoria  Address. 


Of  the  dear  McKinley,  we  will  not  say  that  he  is  dead.  He 
is  just  away.  We  think  how  very  fair  must  needs  be  that  land, 
since  he  lingers  there.     He  is  not  dead;  he  is  just  away. 


IN  SILENT  MEMORY. 

A  comrade  and  family  were  speeding  their  way  homeward 
to  Peoria,  when  the  order  came  that  every  wheel  should  stop 
and  every  voice  be  hushed  in  memory  of  the  beloved  President. 
The  train  was  stopped  in  a  wheat  field  of  Ohio,  the  passengers 
alighted,  joined  hands  and  stood  with  bowed  heads  before  God 
beneath  the  blue  sky. 


SONGS   OF   THE   NATION 


AMERICA. 

A  song  that  appeals  less  to  the  warlike  spirit  of  the  nation 
than  to  that  love  of  country,  upon  which  all  real  patriotism, 
is  founded,  is  that  most  beautiful  of  national  anthems,  "My 
Country,  'Tis  of  Thee."  This  hymn-like  song  has,  for  more 
than  half  a  century,  filled  the  hearts  of  the  children  of  this  coun- 
try with  that  love  of  freedom  and  of  their  native  land  which  is 
the  greatest  possible  safeguard  against  the  loss  of  liberty  or  the 
encroachment  of  tyranny. 

AMERICA. 

My  country,  'tis  of  thee, 
Sweet  land  of  liberty, 

Of  thee  I  sing; 
Land  where  my  fathers  died, 
Land  of  the  Pilgrims'  pride, 
From  every  mountain  side 

Let  freedom  ring! 

My  native  country,  thee, 
Land  of  the  noble  free, 

Thy  name  I  love; 
I  love  thy  rocks  and  rills, 
Thy  woods  and  templed  hills, 
My  heart  with  rapture  thrills, 

Like  that  above. 

Let  music  swell  the  breeze, 
And  ring  from  all  the  trees, 

Sweet  freedom's  song; 
Let  mortal  tongues  awake, 
Let  all  that  breathe  partake, 
Let  rocks  their  silence  break, 

The  sound  prolong.

Protect  us  by  thy  might,

HAIL   COLUMBIA. 

Hail,  Columbia,  happy  land! 
Hail,  ye  heroes  !  heav'n-born  band, 

Who  fought  and  bled  in  Freedom's  cause, 

Who  fought  and  bled  in  Freedom's  cause. 
And  when  the  storm  of  war  was  gone, 
Enjoyed  the  peace  your  valor  won. 

Let  independence  be  our  boast, 

Ever  mindful  what  it  cost; 

Ever  grateful  for  the  prize. 

Let  its  altar  reach  the  skies! 

Immortal  patriots,  rise  once  more! 

Defend  your  rights,  defend  your  shore; 
Let  no  rude  foe  with  impious  hands. 
Let  no  rude  foe  with  impious  hands. 

Invade  the  shrine  where  sacred  lies 

Of  toil  and  blood  the  well  earn'd  prize! 
W^hile  off 'ring  peace  sincere  and  just, 
In  heaven  we  place  a  manly  trust 
That  Truth  and  justice  will  prevail. 
And  every  scheme  of  bondage  fail. 

Sound,  sound  the  trump  of  fame; 

Let  W^ashington's  great  name 

Ring  through  the  world  "^ith  great  applause. 
Ring  through  the  world  with  great  applause. 

Let  every  cHme  to  freedom  dear 

Listen  with  a  joyful  ear; 

With  equal  skill,  with  godlike  power, 
He  governs  in  the  fearful  hour 
Of  horrid  war,  or  guides  with  ease 
The  happier  hours  of  honest  peace! 

Behold  the  chief  who  now  commands! 

Once  more  to  serve  his  country  stands 
The  rock  on  which  the  storm  will  beat, 
The  rock  on  which  the  storm  will  beat; 


LOVE'S    LABOR 

But,  arm'd  in  virtue,  firm  and  true. 
His  hopes  are  fixed  on  heaven  and  you! 
When  hope  was  sinking  in  dismay, 
When  gloom  obscured  Columbia's  day, 
His  steady  mind,  from  changes  free, 
Resolv'd  on  death  and  victory!

THE  BATTLE-CRY  OF  FREEDOM. 

Yes,  we'll  rally  'round  the  flag,  boys,  we'll  rally  once  again, 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom; 
We  will  rally  from  the  hill-sides,  we'll  gather  from  the  plain, 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom 

The  Union  forever,  hurrah,  boys,  hurrah! 

Down  with  the  traitor,  up  with  the  star; 
While  we  rally  'round  the  flag,  boys,  rally  once  again. 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom. 

We  are  springing  to  the  call  of  our  brothers  gone  before. 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom, 
And  we'll  fill  the  vacant  ranks  with  a  milUon  freemen  more, 
Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom. 

We  will  welcome  to  our  numbers  the  loyal,  true,  and  brave, 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom. 
And  altho'  they  may  be  poor,  not  a  man  shall  be  a  slave, 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom. 

So  we're  springing  to  the  call  from  the  East  and  from  the  West, 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom, 
And  we'll  hurl  the  rebel  crew  from  the  land  we  love  the  best. 

Shouting  the  battle-cry  of  freedom. 

Geo.  F.  Root. 


SONG  OF  A  THOUSAND  YEARS 

Lift  up  your  eyes,  desponding  freemen; 

Fling  to  the  winds  your  needless  fears; 
He  who  unfurled  your  beauteous  banner. 

Says  it  shall  wave  a  thousand  years. 

What  if  the  clouds  one  little  moment 
Hide  the  blue  sky  where  morn  appears, 

When  the  bright  sun,  that  tints  them  crimson, 
Rises  to  shine  a  thousand  years? 


54  LOVE'SLABOR 

Tell  the  great  world  these  blessed  tidings, 
Yes,  and  be  sure  the  bondman  hears, 

Tell  the  oppressed  of  every  nation, 
Jubilee  lasts  a  thousand  years. 


MARCHING  THROUGH  GEORGIA. 

Bring  the  good  old  bugle,  boys,  we'll  sing  another  song — 
Sing  it  with  a  spirit  that  \\ill  start  the  world  along — 
Sing  it  as  we  used  to  sing  it,  fifty  thousand  strong. 
While  we  were  marching  through  Georgia. 

"  Hurrah!  Hurrah!  we  bring  the  jubilee! 
Hurrah!  Hurrah!  the  flag  that  makes  you  free." 
So  we  sang  the  chorus  from  Atlanta  to  the  sea. 
While  we  were  marching  through  Georgia. 

How  the  darkies  shouted  when  they  heard  the  joyful  sound; 
How  the  turkeys  gobbled  w^hich  our  commissary  found; 
How  the  new  potatoes  even  started  from  the  ground. 
While  we  were  marching  through  Georgia. 

Yes,  and  there  were  Union  men  who  wept  wdth  joyful  tears. 
When  they  saw  the  honored  flag  they  had  not  seen  for  years; 
Hardly  could  they  be  restrained  from  breaking  forth  in  cheers, 
While  we  were  marching  through  Georgia. 

"  Sherman's  dashing  Yankee  boys  will  never  reach  the  coast!" 
So  the  saucy  rebels  said,  and  'twas  a  handsome  boast, 
Had  they  not  forgot,  alas!  to  reckon  with  the  host. 
While  we  were  marching  through  Georgia. 

So  we  made  a  thoroughfare  for  Freedom  and  her  train, 
Sixty  miles  in  latitude — three  hundred  to  the  main; 
Treason  fled  before  us,  for  resistance  was  in  vain. 
While  we  were  marching  through  Georgia. 


HOME-COMING  OF  OUR  SOLDIERS 

Our  men  are  marching  home — 
A  million  are  marching  home; 

Let  every  color  fly, 
Every  pennon  flaunt  in  pride; 
Wave,  Starry  Flag,  on  high! 
Float  in  the  sunny  sky. 
Stream  o'er  the  stormy  tide; 
For  every  stripe  of  stainless  hue. 
And  every  star. in  the  field  of  blue, 
Ten  thousand  of  the  brave  and  true, 
Have  laid  them  down  and  died.

THE  BATTLE  HYMN  OF  THE  REPUBLIC. 

It  required  a  momentous  crisis  lil^e  the  war  of  the  RebeUion 
to  bring  forth  the  talent  of  the  people,  and  inspiring  war-songs 
born  in  those  days  will  live  forever.  The  stirring  and  pulse- 
warming  ballads  of  those  four  years  of  suspense  are  part  of  the 
heritage  of  the  country.  "The  Battle  Cry  of  Freedom," 
"Just  before  the  Battle,  Mother,"  "Tramp,  Tramp,  Tramp, 
the  Boys  are  Marching,"  were  deeply  imbedded  in  the  hearts 
of  the  loyal  sons  and  daughters  of  the  nation. 

While  poets  and  musicians  gave  their  best  talents  in  support 
of  the  country,  it  remained  for  a  woman  —  a  gentle,  learned, 
God-fearing  woman  —  to  chant  "The  Battle  Hymn  of  the 
Republic." 

A  terrible  arraignment  it  is  of  those  who  dared  the  wrath  of 
the  God  of  Liberty  by  trying  to  separate  the  land  which  he 
made  "one  and  undivided."  —  Julia  Ward  Howe. 

Mine  eyes  have  seen  the  glory  of  the  coming  of  the  Lord; 
He  is  trampling  out  the  vintage  where  the  grapes  of  wrath  are  stored; 
He  hath  loos'd  the  fateful  lightning  of  His  terrible  swift  sword: 
His  truth  is  marching  on. 

I  have  seen  Him  in  the  watch-fires  of  a  hundred  circling  camps; 
They  have  builded  Him  an  altar  in  the  evening  dews  and  damps; 
I  can  read  His  righteous  sentence  by  the  dim  and  flaring  lamps; 
His  day  is  marching  on. 

I  have  read  the  fiery  gospel  writ  in  burnished  rows  of  steel : 
"As  ye  deal  with  My  contemners,  so  with  you  My  grace  shall  deal: 
Let  the  Hero  born  of  woman  crush  the  serpent  with  his  heel, 
Since  God  is  marching  on." 

He  has  sounded  forth  the  trumpet  that  shall  never  call  retreat; 
He  is  sifting  out  the  hearts  of  men  before  His  judgment-seat: 
Oh!  be  swift,  my  soul,  to  answer  Him!  be  jubilant,  my  feet! 
Our  God  is  marching  on. 

In  the  beauty  of  the  lilies  Christ  was  born  across  the  sea. 
With  a  glory  in  His  bosom  that  transfigures  you  and  me; 
As  He  died  to  make  men  holy,  let  us  die  to  make  men  free, 
While  God  is  marching  on. 

CHORUS 

Glory,  glory  hallelujah!   Glory,  glory  hallelujah! 
Glory,  glory  hallelujah!   His  truth  is  marching  on.

THE  STAR-SPANGLED  BANNER. 

The  War  of  1812,  which  was  the  first  real  test  of  the  soHdity  ' 

of  the  tie  that  bound  the  youthful  United  States  together,  was 
responsible  for  the  creation  of  what  has  proved  to  be  the  most 
popular  war-song  of  the  nation — the  ''Star-Spangled  Banner" 
of  immortal  memory. 

THE  ST\R-SPANGLED    BANNER. 

O  say,  can  you  see  by  the  dawn's  early  light, 
What  so  proudly  we  hailed  at  the  twilight's  last  gleaming  ? 
Whose  broad  stripes  and  bright  stars  thro'  the  perilous  fight, 
O'er  the  ramparts  we  watched,  were  so  gallantly  streaming? 
And  the  rocket's  red  glare,  the  bombs  bursting  in  air, 
Gave  proof  through  the  night  that  our  flag  was  still  there. 
O  say,  does  that  star-spangled  banner  yet  wave. 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the  brave? 

On  the  shore  dimly  seen  thro'  the  mist  of  the  deep, 
Wliere  the  foe's  haughty  host  in  dread  silence  reposes, 
W^hat  is  that  which  the  breeze,  o'er  the  towering  steep, 
As  it  fitfully  blows,  half  conceals,  half  discloses  ? 
Now  it  catches  the  gleam  of  the  morning's  first  beam, 
In  full  glory  reflected  now  shines  on  the  stream. 

And  where  is  that  band  who  so  vauntingly  swore 

That  the  havoc  of  war  and  the  battle's  confusion, 

A  home  and  a  country  shall  leave  us  no  more  ? 

Their  blood  has  washed  out  their  foul  footsteps'  pollution. 

No  refuge  could  save  the  hirelings  and  slave 

From  the  terror  of  flight  or  the  gloom  of  the  grave. 

O,  thus  be  it  ever,  when  freemen  shall  stand 
Between  their  lov'd  home  and  the  war's  desolation; 
Blest  with  victory  and  peace,  may  the  heav'n-rescued  land 
Praise  the  Pow'r  that  hath  made  and  preser\^ed  us  a  nation. 
Then  conquer  we  must  when  our  cause  it  is  just. 
And  this  be  our  motto,  "  In  God  is  our  trust.

PEORIA'S  VOLUNTEERS 


All  down  the  gay,  applauding  street 
There  sounds  the  tramp  of  marching  feet. 


From  the  Adjutant-General's  report  is  taken  the  names 
of  the  volunteers  who  enlisted  from  Peoria  County  and  near 
vicinity,  special  care  being  exercised  to  get  the  name  of 
every  soldier.  If  it  is  found  that  omissions  have  been  made 
the  report  is  at  fault.  We  are  proud  of  the  volunteer  soldier 
who  left  his  comfortable  home  in  Peoria  during  those  dark 
days,  and  went  to  battle  for  the  right.  We  are  honored 
to  write  his  name  here.
